New wheels...

[oblio]

...as in literally, new wheels, rather than a whole new car

Having never bought any I was wondering if this might be a good alternative to getting mine refurbed.I am looking for 17 inch black for my 9-3 Saab convertible. I am near Cirencester.

Can anyone suggest any vendors of these? Doesn't need to be too blinging and I want something that isn't going to be too much of a pain to keep clean!

Be gentle on me as I'm closer to 50 than 40!

I think Saabs original alloys look best , after market alloys look a bit naff on Saab's ,, plenty of second hand wheels on the bayhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=saab+17+alloy+wheels&_sacat=0&_dmpt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&_odkw=lotus+elan+m100&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1311

Or these on UKSaabs http://www.uksaabs.co.uk/UKS/viewtopic.php?f=8&amp... there after market and black , not my personal cup of tea but each to there own


I do like met grey three spokes on Saabs, had this on my privious saab

Thanks Stephen

I am getting them refurb'ed now as they are decent enough wheels.

I am getting them done in satin black I think as I am planning on getting the hood redyed black as well to get rid of some watermarks (Saab themselves tried redying it the original dark blue but that didnt work).

I think that will look quite nice with the Cerulean Blue colour she is (sort of bright electric blue)
