The BBS rims weren't discretionary. The car came from the dealer wearing a set of those and did buy one spare in 2007, to have a full-size spare in the trunk, and to ensure that if/when I damaged one of the originals I wouldn't have to scramble to find a match.
Since then, I have permanently damaged two rims in bad pot-holes. While some may argue this is not a 9-5 specific reliability issue, it's certainly fair to consider this repair/maintenance.
After I damaged my last spare a year ago, I was running on a donut. I found a used set of four on eBay, and gladly purchased the set. I'm now back to having a full-size spare in the trunk. If anyone is interested, I do have two additional BBS RKII rims that I'm willing to sell.
