RE: Wheels for 4CSQ

Someone mentioned that SAAB rims will fit.

Just a quick note that it's SAAB 9000 and 88-93 SAAB 900 rims.  The more
common SAAB rims used throughout the 70's and 80's are a different bolt
pattern.

The 900 rims are most common in a 15x5.5 size and are typically $50-$75
each. 9000's are 6.5", have a different offset, and are $75-100 each. 
Very rare are the 16x6.5 9000 Aero rims... you can buy a new set of
aftermarkets cheaper. 

Speaking of that... I recently purchased a set of Mangel 5-stars... 15x7
with a 35 offset... new for $53 each!  Ordered by phone, rims showed up
the next day!  (These are for my 900 and will require a 1/4" spacer and
longer lug bolts in the rear to fit, but they should be fine on a 4KQ.)

From: www.wheelmart.com  Usual disclaimers.... but I'll buy from them
again!
