Saabarchive.net - colors and wheels database

That is an awesome database and a tremendous effort you are doing. Thank you!

I think it would be great to have links to pictures wearing each wheels on the wheels page.

You are missing my 9-5 winter wheels, which are BBS made for Saab, even have the SAAB name cast on them. They are 16" and have 5x110 bolt pattern. I can check width later:
(crappy photos, I can get better ones if you want them)



I saw this 9-3 Cabrio last year, it was more Monte Carlo yellow than Saffron yellow, you don't have Monte Carlo yellow for the NG9-3:


Suggestion for your site: next up, steering wheels!


BTW, a small link to Saab World in your Links page would be greatly appreciated!

305 - Electric Blue was never offered on the og9-5.

The picture you have for 301 - Arbor Green appears the same color as Pepper Green. The one I posted earlier is a bit light in the picture.

Looking at those wheels, satin trim around headlights and silver roof rails, I am thinking this is a 2009 and not a 2006.



This is a 9-3 in Arbor Green. Never seen it on a 9-5 though.

My Saab WIS says that Electric blue was offered in 2006 on og9-5. I'm not sure what to believe, but I've had a principle of always using the official Saab info if I can obtain one. I'll probably stick with that for now.

You're right about arbor /pepper green on og9-5.This fault has occured due to the initial fault of believing that pepper green wasn't available on 9-5. I'll fix that!

About that arbor green on 9-5, this info is also from WIS, so I'll keep it for now. But I agree with you, never seen that color on a 9-5!

Thank you!!

- First of all, did you notice the wheel galleries? The wheel "thumbnails" are clickable, and by clicking it you'll see images of wheels on cars!

- Those wheels seems to be the ALU29 (in my database). These were standard on 900 Talladega. (But thanks anyway!)

-That cab is neither Monte Carlo or Saffron. Monte Carlo yellow wasn't available after 2000. Saffron has never been an official Saab color, it was a "test color" there were rumours about, but the color that actually became available was the Lynx yellow. Lynx is also in the overview, and this was only available on ng9-3 cab.

- Thank you for the steering wheel tip! I love the idea! Idea noted. By the way, I've got the same steering wheel in my 90



Also thanks for the grey photos Wulfers!

I can only dream of a 9-5 in Electric Blue.

Link to Saabworld put on the link list! Will look into organizing links in a better way some day..

I clicked on one of those before and didn't see anything. Now I realize there weren't pictures of cars for that wheel. Others are showing up fine.

If you need pictures for the 6-spoke split 17x7 wheels (Wheel gallery - Category: 6-spoke split - Saab Archive) , feel free to use pictures of my 9-5. SaabWorld - Saab Garage

Great! I was wondering if it could be those wheels on your car, couldn't decide from your avatar ;-)

Well, I got busy again, and had to snap some quick pictures, so they aren't the best quality.

Here is my spare tire, wheel. I'm not sure if it was used for the spare only, but it is the same size/dimensions as the regular wheel, just a different design. They are 15" steel wheels that are 4.5" wide. Bolt pattern is 5x170. These are the original color as far as I know, and there are steel caps that cover the wheel bolts and hub, but leave the surrounding wheel exposed.


Here are the stock wheels that came on the car. Same 5x170 and 15"x4.5, but I painted them black and their design is a bit different. I've also included a picture of the hubcap on as well. But, there were several different hubcap designs for these steel wheels.

Thanks for your effort shazam! I'll look into this. Any part number on the wheels?
