Hi,
First, the second. Recently, I was looking thru the classifieds right here on Saabnet and a set of tires caught my eye. The Toyo Proxies were going got a good price and they seemed to be the size that I wanted. 205-15-55. I immediately called the seller and expressed my interest. He accepted my offer. When the tires arrived a few days later I could not to put the on and balance then and do an alignment. Finally my car would be complete and I could just drive it until first snow.

...As I approached the tires that were stacked on my back porch after coming home from a long day of work, I was so happy I decided to smoke a cigarette as a custom after a glorious even :) only to find that the tires, the very object of my desire were 16' on 15. I have no idea how this happened, after finding out the tires were the wrong size I laughed (at myself) but also went online to check what the ad said. Sure enough the ad read 205-50-16. I have no excuses!!!

I am not that mad (at myself), I did want 16' rims eventually I just did plan on purchasing tires to expedite the process.

Finally the first, what are my options for 16' rims. Saab? Seems to expensive, I understand that other manufactures have rims that fit, which ones?
Mainly, there is no way that I can afford new rims, but something for 300 or less will do even if they are no the most cosmetically sound.

Thank you for reading
