No, not mesh. That's the other end of the spectrum. It's like you want either as few spokes as possible or 11ty bn.

I prefer this sort of wheel.

Can you get the Hirsch wheel in 18"?

If so I would go with that.

19" rubber-band tires on the sh!tty raods of Oregon will be hell. You will have a bent wheel in no-time.

That's a cool wheel DBYZ-kind of like the 18s on it but without that extra rim depth on the ones I have (which I don't really like as the spoke is nerfed a little in appearance.

I've moved back to washington and the roads here are quite good But I'm going to go check what sidewall width I can buy in 19" size-thanks FMR.

Ugh, keep the 5, they're way nicer.

 

[SampSon]

No.

 

[Rogodin2]

So only a little love for the 3-spokes?

Rogo

 

[Rogodin2]

Would you buy wheels off ebay? There are some saabtuner wheels that look really nice.

Why would you spend money on new wheels if the old ones aren't broken? You can't see them when you're driving and, the car being a Saab, the only other person who will seem them is your mechanic.

 

[savvy]

Yes.

 

[mugs]

I don't like those 3 spoke wheels at all.

And your pictures aren't very useful for deciding if 19" is too big, because I can't really distinguish the tire from the wheel well. 19" is probably too big.

I think the ones you have on look much better than the ones your contemplating.

just MHO.

Copy that. The 19s look worse, will make your ride worse, and just seem like a waste of money to me.

 

[SSP]

Half a pound total? You can negate that with a bag of groceries. Or not taking a dump.

I think the 5 spokes look better.

 

[Rogodin2]

The problem is that the 18s don't fill the wheel wells at all. Though with the spring/shock kit it will be tighter/lower.

I'm my own mechanic so no worries.

Strut Bearings :Q Similar to muffler bearings

If you must have 19" wheels (and I don't think anyone must), don't get these. I really don't like the way they look.

 

[Rogodin2]

Don

What 19" would you get with a 110x50 bolt pattern?

Rogo

 

[MikeMike]

why not buy a set of the original Viggen wheels, and just be warned that they are like rubber, and will bend easily.

there are a TON better wheels that will look better than the 3 spokers you posted.

I don't pretend to be a wheel expert - I like your stock wheels fine, and better than the 19s you're looking at. Is this a rare size?

When I opened this thread, I was thinking there is a post in here from SampSon that simply stated, "No."

OP: Uh... No. Don't do it.

 

[clickynext]

Your current wheels look fine...

 

[Nebor]

You should get 18" BBS RGRs. They look great on all European cars.

 

[Rogodin2]

The pattern numbers are a rare 110mmx50mm.

I had the original nonbent stock 17" Viggen wheels (which are Moda fs1s-super soft and didn't like them) and sold them for $950

I want 19" wheels and there are very few that fit the Viggen-the Hirsch are the best I've found that I like.

BBS RGR or HREs can be custom drilled for your application.
