So, I a badly buckled wheel. The tyre and wheel people I have spoken to locally all agree that only Saab wheels should go on Saab cars. In one way that's good, because I don't want to fork out for a whole new set of alloys! Some alloy wheel repair people say they can fix the buckle , but my trusted mechanic is wary of this for safety reasons. And we are safety-conscious people. In Australia we have very limited parts available. Please folks, your thoughts on this are welcome.
Have you tried that well known auction site ?
GM ( or holden) as over there use the same bolt pattern 5/110 so you may be able to pick up a second hand set of alloys to suite , but I never trust the tyres that come with them .
yes there are companies that can repair scuffs , buckles on alloys , but at the end of the day if you not comfortable with the idear then don't do it . Safety is paramount.funnly enough I have a spare one of those but it would be a complete faff and prolly cost the earth to send
Well. I checked several web pages locally and nothing. I think I'm a going to have to try to just fix it. I don't believe that GM wheels will fit correctly...why would so many people say only saab will fit saab?
I've got a set of Vauxhall 19" VXR wheels on mine and have so for the last year and a half no problems.
also at that point GM had a tie in with Saab , you will also find that parts on Saab are interchangeable with Vauxhall,
Off course you can use any other wheels that fit!
There are also plenty of aftermarket wheels!
For the 07 9-3 they have to have the same PCD ie 5 x 110 and offset ET41 and centre bore 65.1mm
Wheels in the offset range ET35-ET50 approx will also be fine (the 9-5 wheels are interchangeable with offset ET49!) https://www.wheel-size.com/size/saab/9-3/2007/
Many of the GM vehicles have the same spec for example.
