they look great! I have and painted them metallic grey. only have 215/45's on mine and they fit no problem.

Though....i think I'm gonna look for other 17's this summer. Those Klingon's are fricken HEAVY

OLD Wheels on



This is an old pic when I first got the car ... lol clean days




OK and here are the new wheels going on






Now I need to paint the new wheels ... refurb them a bit.
two tone metallic graphite grey and silver comes in my mind.

What was wrong with the 6 Spokes? They looked like they suited (albeit Audi-ish) the car really well. Hope you enjoy the new ones though!

[kent93]

6 spokes had some lame tyres on 205/40-R17 the previous owner put on ... and managed with a combination of our lame roads to get all 4 alloys in really bad shape. The whole car was bouncing not good.

[kent93]

I know the others looked better but they couldn't handle the Turbo boost I think plus the low profile tyres did not do well.
the factory ones are much better ride

I prefer those 3 spoke sport wheels personally. (was seriously considering a set for mine) I think the car would look a lot better with the SE lip, valence and skirts though.

I know, I am in the progress to find some kit ... and put on.

It is the SE model ...I assume you mean something like an "Fake" SE Aero edition?

I keep an eye looking for a used rear wing

[Kei]

The trim is standard saab stuff, which i thought came on SE models. (we're not talking aero/viggen bumpers/skirts here)

[kent93]

mmmm I think there was a special SE version after 2000? that had the rear wing/side skirts ... and gave an Aero look.

My lower front lip ... might not be able to notice it much as I have repainted my front bumper and have all the black plastics colour coded as an experiment...
I think I will do the rear bumper all blue as well so will not have black protecting strips all around they will all be colour coded.
Weather allowed for my to get my spray station going in the back garden lol.
At the moment I am on the mission to do the wheels on two colours ... weather forecast for tomorrow looks grim ... so more likely to do sanding only and maybe a bit of primering.

Yes I just found this 93 SE with what you mean

Mine is an early SE version '98 ... I assume they added the body touches afterwards

I am looking at doing the same thing (click here). Do they seem to fit well? Is there any rubbing like when turning?
