SAAB wheels anyone?

[blkmaggtsp74]

They're 5/110 so with wobble bolts it should be fine. Have anyone tried it? I'm just curious how it would look.

dunno if wobbles will work with this. they should, but be careful with that.

and what saab wheels are you talking about? lol

 

[blkmaggtsp74]

Nah, no special. Just some 5-spoke AERO wheels i've seen. Just thought about it as they're quite common on the used marked over here.

Try it then!

If they're cheap and they look good, thumbs up to you :thumbsup:

watch for brake clearance. my saab had alot smaller brakes than my mkv.

and ive always wondered to if wobbles go backwards in size too.

 

[phil]

they should.

they give approx. 2.3~mm on clearance onb oth sides.

the wobble is a bolt with a cone shaped "hat" that goe sthrugh the middle of it. so it can move both ways.

Yes, good to know about the brakes. That's something i'd forgotten about, but if they've been on an AERO with it's bigger brakes. It should workout well. I know some people here swap wheels between Saab and Volvo, them being mostly 5/110 and 5/108.

Saab make some decent looking wheels; I'd think they should work fine on a GTI. Try finding a set of 17 inch Double Three Spokes, or perhaps the 18 inch Turbo X wheels! IMO the two best looking wheels Saab ever made :thumbsup:

Double 3 Spokes from my 2002 9³ SE Vert:


Turbo X:

Yeah, found turboX's but they were a bit pricey.

Found these, but still a little pricey and i seem to have seen them on some Audi.

Those for sale at like nothing...wish they were 18" instead of 17".
Hmmm...
