Saab 9-5 wheels (1998-2009)

[Brad Lauzze]

I like having options and be able to swap between wheels and tires easily and conveniently. I have my 18" Euro wheels/summer tires, my snow tires mounted on my stock 17" Aero wheels, and then I have two other different sets of 17" wheels just chilling in the garage in case I wake up one day and think to myself: "I wanna try something different."

A luxury that I do not yet have the enjoyment of having, one day I will

yeah... as a Saab/auto Technician it also makes it easier to have multiple sets of wheels and tires.

I have;
2003 Aero Turbine 17" wheels with tires in storage
2007 Anniversary 17" wheels with Contipro Contact SSR run flats - summer wheels
Snow Flake 16" wheels with snow tires - on our wagon I just sold my father still
BLOCK spoke 16" wheels on our vert - came on our 2003 9-5 Linear
have 16" 9-3 SE wheels (selling to a member here )

I also have;
1 17" 9-3 Aero 5 spoke wheel - slight bend (for sale)
1 16" 9-5 ARC wheel from like a 2004/2005 9-5 - NOS (for sale)

4 lug Saab wheels;
1 set of c9000 directionals - loose
1 mouted/ballanced set of 9000 sunburst 15" wheels off my 86 9000
1 set of Aero wheels on my 86 9000
1 set of 1998 9000 Anniversary 16" wheels on my 1995 9000
1 set of Griffin Edition 15" wheels in storage (sale possible)

There are probably more I can't remember....

Thanks for the post Wulf. By any chance would you know which company manufactured stock wheels for Saab? I particularly want to know about ALU52. I'm thinking of upgrading wheels of my '04 9-5 Aero and don't see the point of doing it if they are of good quality i.e. made by BBS. When I cleaned wheels of my '04 9-3 a while ago saw that it was made in Czech Republic which I thought was interesting

[nordwulf]

Many Saab wheels for the 9-5 were made by BBS so they probably were the default supplier for Saab.

My car has these stock rims. Quesition - the griffin badge in the middle is very "faded" on 3 of the 4 rims. A faint ghost image is still visible, but you have to look closely. Are those just a decal which has faded, or fallen off ?

Thanks for this post man, some awesome wheels to choose from!

Turns out the "faded image" on one of the wheels was simply dirt.!! Spray on a little citrus cleaning solution, let soak and scrubbed off. DOH.!! The other two wheels are indeed missing the emblem.
