'09 Aero wheel question Posted by serge [Email] (#1363) [Profile/Gallery] (more from serge) on Sat, 1 Oct 2016 16:19:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm about to gift myself some new tires (Conti ExtremeContact DWS, fwiw, I love them), and I want finally to make myself a real spare. I want to boot the donut to the curb. Problem is matching the rims I have. They're the 07-09 "Anniversary" wheels with five notched spokes. They're not terribly attractive, but there you are.
I cannot find one anywhere...I did order what was the last one they had from a big iBay seller, but they sent the wrong one, a more popular five-spoke, notched rim. I have scoured the intertubes and failed to come by the wheel I need. So my questions are two: does anyone know where I might find one of these "Anniversary" wheels? And second, if I keep the wheel I got - it's the correct size and a genuine Saab rim - will the difference in weight cause problems driving or steering? Granted, it would still be a temporary fix, but if the front end is skittering around I don't want that.
I'm tempted just to keep the new wheel...anyone got a suggestion? Muchos thanks...
