I'll make this short. I have a 1999 9-5 Sportswagon. Lots of trouble, but she's beautiful. Well thought out. I love her. Anyways, I've had the car for about 6.5 years. She came with 17 BBS wheels. As would not be shocking with the minimal side wall between the wheel and the ground, NJ kicked the crap out of the wheels, maybe before I even bought the car used. She always had this annoying shimmy between 60-70mph. Wasn't sure what it was, but she asked for my wallet for lunch so often, I couldn't do much about it. Replaced the wheels with brand new 16" Borbets and new tires after skidding across an intersection on a quiet snowy night. Still had the darn shimmy. Didn't worry, as I still couldn't do much about it. Just purchased original Saab wheels used, that were designed for this car - shimmy gone! My indy says that I picked the right wheels (the deal I got enabled the wheels to pick me actually). Aftermarket wheels will fit on your car, but not like the ones really made for the car. I'm living life and loving it. The car drive's like it's on rails.
