9-5 Wheels

[SWH]

Hello all,

Recently purchased a 2004 9-5 Estate (2.0t ARC auto) and I'm looking to get a set of spare wheels to put winter tyres on.

It's currently wearing the standard 16" alloys and some ditchfinding brand of tyre, saying that it seems fine in the snow really; so this is more to put in the garage for next winter, or put on for the rest of this winter of course, I'd guess winter tyres are at a premium just at the moment though!

Anyway, did the same for my Volvo 850 and it turned out to get another set of alloys and bung the winter tyres on them was the easiest option... finding a reasonably priced set of wheels for the Saab however isn't quite so easy - not really after fancy alloys, or what appear to be expensive standard ones on eBay, so does anyone know if it's possible to get a set of steel wheels that fit?

Think the earlier 9-5s came with 15" steels, and I'd assume they'll fit over my little non-Aero brakes, also wondering if anything else from the GM world has steels that would go straight on?

Doubt I'll get a set of four for £40 as I did with the old tank, but you never know!

Thanks!

A few years ago I got a set of steel wheels from my local dealer, hwere vthey had been left after the owner upgraded. Some 9-3 wheels will fit as well (previous model), as they are the same offset

In response to this and my own post on similar vein I got a set of (scabby but serviceable) Se spec 16" alloys for £85 from a scrappy.

Fit my Aero and any other 9-3 9-5 according to the book.

Steels were nigh on impossible to find.

Cool, thanks for the replies.

Will search out some old alloys from a scrapyard, and I think there's a small specialist down the road from me, so can ask if they have any sets of wheels that will fit as well.
