found nice 17's for ss/sc

i dont know if anyone has seen these or not, ive been trying to hide em till i get the money to but em (i dont want everybody and their moma havin em)

but here they are they came off of certain yrs. of saabs backspacing is identical to stock only downfall is the widest it comes is 7" stock on ss/sc is 7.5" but wont matter unless trying to go bigger than 245/40/17 which i wont im gonna run that size...



and these tires... 245/40/17 falkin azenis rt615 "cheaters"



so what do you guys think? kinda like a srt-4 rim but more aggressive/better

i dont have the specs yet but they look really light too...

I have seen them, just didnt know if I wanted to drop down in rim size. Ive looked around the Saab forums for awhile now trying to find some different rim ideas.

I just replaced the stock SSSC rims on my car with some lightweight Centerline Storm wheels and the width of the stock wheels on mine was 7". It is stamped on the stock wheel at the back of the rim. And the stock wheels are made by SuperAlloy Industrial of Taiwan. here is their website.

the stock rims of the new Turbo Cobalt are 7.5" but the SSSC comes with 18" by 7" rims.

width on a tire isnt really what you gain by dropping a smaller size, its usually the height of the sidewall you can increase.
