Wheels to 4K from Saab?



To save some time on this topic:

All SaaBs from model 99 and up have had 5 lug bolt pattern. 900, 9000
and 9-3 and 9-5 all use 5 -bolt pattern.

The only wheels you migth find for SaaBs are for model 95 and 96, anyone
remember these, a sedan and a station wagon? Think they both went out of
production i Sweden 1975 or 1976.

Good luck anyway, these were cars with great personality, albeit semi
functional
