New wheels, couple pics finally...

Just thought I'd post a pic of my new wheels. I'm not sure if I can post multiple pics so the link will take you to a couple other photos, as well as a few photos of Saabs I had years ago...
The wheels were a nightmare - 17" OEM type wheels from the newer 9-3 Linear (not sure if these were actual OEM or knock-offs) from Colorado Wheel Company. They were clearly refinished, and unfortunately didn't fit the hubs when I got them, but only barely (too tight by about the thickness of the paint) so I had the hubs milled out probably less than 1mm to make them fit. It was a total fiasco. I do like they way they look on the car though - factory, but updated. I have the old 5 spoke wheels if anyone is interested - 2 tires might be good, 2 are shot.
The car also has Bilstein/Eibach and the Tali rear sway bar. I think I need to dial out some of the rear neg camber, as the car is unsettled in the rear on turn-in and tramlines in the rear... I did have an alignment done after the spring/shock install, but, evidently need to redo it.
PS: Anyone know if this is goverend to 130? Should the turbo guage ever get into the red? Mine stops at 130, and boost only gets to the line of the 'orange/red' section, never into the red. 91 octane CA gas... Thanks for any input.
