I'm having a bit of a time getting a straight answer...

I'm looking to purchase a set of factory 16x6.5" 3-spoke Saab rims, but I need to know what the offset is on them.

There is another problem, being that there are two differing types of 3 spoke wheels, one is flatter then the other, can anyone help me out?

Looking at a 1996 SAAB accessories catalogue, the round wheels are Super Aero and the flat type are Aero rims. The latter should have grey metallic centre with polished unpainted outer edges. I think these were first fitted to the Carlssons. Sorry no knowledge about offsets

How common are they? Easy to find?

The Carlsson grey centered wheels seem to be readily available. At the National weekend, Neo Bros Ltd had a new set on show at £125 each. Their ad is in the SOC Driver mag, or phone 01992 719280.

Flat - aeros, dark centre polished rim difficult to get fitted to Carlssons.

Round - super aero, one colour no polished rim, easier to get as fitted to Aero.

I bought the flat aeros from Neo Brothers at the Spares weekend (much less than £125 each)
