Thumbs up Found rims at auto wreckers, look in plz......

hey, a few days ago, I went to some auto wreckers and I found a wicked pair of rims.

These rims are off a Saab, and they look really good.
I am planning on gettting a 92 NIssan 240sx which is a dark blue, and I think these in grey/bronze/black would look really good

these are the EXACT same ones as I found lying at the wreckers.


now my question is, does anybody know if they are 4 bolt??
or are these type from Saab 5 bolt???

should I buy them???


what do you guys/girls think??

thanks

bartek

Saab silver spokes

I would have also thought they'd be five bolt, but they are four. Couldn't find the bolt pattern though. <http://www.newsalemsaab.com/Store/Pr...rame_Index.htm>

Should you use them? I dunno, they are Saab wheels (lol). Remember Saabs are FF cars and most front-drive cars have a different type of wheel than rear-drive. Don't exactly know what the difference is, maybe to do with the forces and weight transfers.

Good luck, make sure you don't make a 240 look bad!

Yeah that 240 does look nice. Are you gonna paint the Saab rims dark like that?

BTW - Didn't you say it was a dark blue car? That one doesn't look dark or blue!

Good luck EH!

yea, the car is a dark blue, and either I would keep the saab rims the silver, or have them painted bronze.

What do you guys think??
