I believe that the only 9-3 that needs 17" wheels is the Turbo-X, the rest can use 16" wheels and tires. I bought 4 215/55-16 Yokohama W.Drive tires from Discount Tire Direct online with free shipping. Used Saab Alloy wheels are readily available in the $200/set range. Anything from a NG900, OG9-3, or 9-5 will fit just fine, the difference in offset is immaterial. Don't bother with the TPMS sensors until the price comes down to reality or you find some used ones.
I have no sensors in my summer wheels as they won't fit the BBS RVs. It's no big deal, you have to hit clear to clear the message then it is just the little warning light on. Interestingly, the system uses the ABS sensors (calculates difference in rpm) as a backup, you will still get a low pressure warning even with no sensors - clever, that.
