What do you think of these?

My 2000 Viggen 'vert came to me wearing 16-inch SE wheels. I got the pictured set of Saab 17-inch wheels for $200 locally off C-List, spent an early Spring repairing surface damage on two of them (I think someone use them as a saw horse while in storage, and dropped a heavy chain off an overhead shelf). A Permatex Wheel Repair Kit from eBay and some Wurth OEM Saab wheel paint from eEuro was all it took.
I like the way the triangle in the Y-shaped spoke mimics the design of the Viggen logo. I was looking for either a set of these, or a set of the double 3-spoke wheels with alternating offset of the spokes to replace the 16-inch wheels. I agree with the others that you should save the Viggen wheels for possible future sale with the car to a collector, and buy some inexpensive used Saab wheels for daily driving.
