Looking for Ronal (Minilite copy) wheels for 96
I was the lucky recipient of that Hussar Blue 1967 96 V4 you may have seen pass through Bring a Trailer and/or eBay about six weeks ago. I am pleased to report that it arrived to its new home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (from Bend, Oregon) in great shape. It was just lacking a number of fiddly details that I am working on now. In fact, everyone in the SAAB community has been welcoming and quite willing to impart knowledge to help me get up to speed on this model.
One upgrade I am interested in is a new wheel/tire package. I quickly realized that, due to the crazy 170mm x 5 bolt circle, there are only three choices: the soccer ball design (same style [different bolt circle] as what came o.e. on my 1978 99EMS I had 30 years ago), the Chomodoro (not in my top-three picks), and the Ronal Minilite-style wheel.
Yes, this Minilite copy is my first choice. Do you know of anyone who might sell me a set?
Didn't think so. That being the case, in my quest, I have found the company who could make a run of these for a number of us, but I would need to find seven or eight other interested parties to commit to a set.
If you think you may be a candidate, please let me know. Thanks!
