ie if that 3-spoke is a little more prone to bending than some other saab rims. They were a common original 9-5 rim and I just don't see many of them come up for sale. So I have kind of avoided them even though they may be my all time favourite Saab rim. Our winter rims are the twin 5 spoke 16" rims that were common on the 9-3ss. Not pretty, but robust, cheap, and ubiquitous if I wreck one. Winter can be very hard on wheels! I would definitely take a look used if it was decently bent, as the cost might be less used vs repair. Someone was selling a set of klingons locally, iirc $35/ea (slightly rough looking, and I wouldn't want 17" for winter, but gives an idea how cheap they can be - easily <$200 for a set of 16" rims)...
good luck!
