C'mon man, everyone else has said it - get a new wheel. If you can afford a nearly new Saab, you can afford a wheel. It's one of those things that's just not worth a quick fix. I buckled an alloy on my old Fiat Punto and balked at the price of new (when a hammer could make it almost right), but I valued my life and had enough respect for others around me to bite the bullet and get a new one.
