Aftermarket wheel gallery

Anyone looking for some sweet rims at a good price I just saw this website usarims.com had replica BBS CH wheels for like $600, and with tires for like $1200. Only problems are they are 5x112, so wobble bolts are needed, and they only go up to 18". BBS CH are the nicest wheels I have seen on the 9-3. I believe they are shown somewhere in this threadon VectorSS's 9-3.

I was browsing their site a while back. They also have the BBS LM replicas and the Lorinser replicas. I couldn't bring myself to buy those CH reps because they even put the "motorsports" on them. That's going a little too far with the copying for me.

Finally have my new wheels in tires at my house and would like to get them on tomorrow. My wobble bolts will be in today so I should be all set. My question is about hub rings. My rims have a hub thats just bigger than stock. I think it's like 66.5 or something? I'll check. But will I be ok without hub rings for a little while? I forgot to order them and don't want to have to wait to put my new set on until the rings are delivered.

They will look fine. I used to have 225 on my 19x8. 235 is perfect for my 19x8.5

What's going to center your wheels on the hubs if you didn't get the hub rings? There is plenty of play with the wobble bolts, so they may be way off if there's nothing to center the wheels when you tighten the bolts... Ron

The site does exist, it's usarim.com - without the 's' at the end

sweet aero, looks real good from the back, as well. I like the gloss black wheels and alittle drop would complete the look. Quick question though, why don't you have aero sideskirts?

+1 on the drop! Other than that car looks sweet!!!

[Aeroflot]

I thought I did have Aero sideskirts... Here is a brighter photo, let me know:



I don't really have too much clearance to lower...maybe 15-20mm What springs should I look for, since Aero is already lowered from factory? (I don't like the dropped look though)

[cjhutch]

You have standard side skirts, they are the same ones that come on the Arc with sport package. Your car looks really good and you have plenty of room to lower it. If you want to go another 20mm or so grab the Eibach springs.

yah man, you have arc side skirts, you should talk to someone about that.

there's definitely room to lower, i also have an aero and put on h&r shocks with koni yellow dampers. it's just enough to get rid of the funny looking wheel gap (space between tire and fender). the ride will be stiffer (and a little bumpier), but at the same time you'll be more mounted to the ground at high speeds

Damn it!!! So i was looking at both sides and it looks like they don't match! here is the right side:


I bought the car with 17K mi. from a reputable SAAB dealer with a clean carfax...Well I didn't notice and it's too late now.

[Aeroflot]

I got new 4" tips when I got my magnaflows. I use Mothers metal polish, works well, stayed clean through Chicago fall/winter.
