will the rims from an 03-05 saab 9-3 fit onto my 97 900 with ease??? just a direct fit right?

Yes, they'll fit, and if you have the tire size right (outer diameter), your speedometer will even be right. I made a spreadsheet for this when I did mine.



These are the wheels for a 9-3 Linear; they have a slightly lower offset, so they stick out more which fits the fenders much better than NG900 wheels do. The 16" variety also fits, but you'll want a lower profile tire.

not to highjack the thread, but do you have any bigger/better pics of your car with the 17" klingons...i'm thinking about upgrading my 2001 SE 16" 5 spokes to klingons, BBS RKIIs, or the 6 spoke type 17" saab wheels
Well Troll Speed's Klingons are up for sale :cheesy: hurry and you may snatch them. He's selling them cheap too :eek:

Radare does your grille have the rare black pearl finish or is it just the light? :eek:
You are correct; that's a genuine black-pearl grille! :D

I picked it up for less than $50 shipped on EBay; the seller had it listed as a carbon grille and nobody bid against me. I was thrilled!

Old goat has those on his car an they rub slightly. I have 215/45R17s with no rubbing. I was surprised they rub on Old Goat's car but he may have his suspension lowered. Check with him.
On ebay there a newer and better deal every day. Be patient and you'll get what you need after a few tries :cheesy: You just have to watch for the deals daily.
