I really like these wheels. I would love to have them on my GXP. They would be even better if the spacing was closer and instead of chrome maybe gun metal or polished black.

Anyone see anything like this out there?

I KNOW these wheels. They were advertised in my latest 0-60 magazine. I will look them up when I go on lunch. If my memory is correct, these wheels would be about $800 each.

Kinda like that
More like these combined with chefmartins. Resulting in more spokes that are slightly angled (or rounded but still flat)






Excelsior; 800 bucks *faint* oi.

The exact ones in the picture are prototype wheels. I was at the saab dealership when some one asked about getting a pair. The parts guy was like we can put some thing similar but not the same.

Yeah, this is what I hear as well which is OK because I like the ones I am getting much.

Martin, do these support the tire pressure monitor system? I can't find the info on the site so I am guessing no mention means "No"?

Put me down on the "notify list" for these. I sure do like the look and may have to start saving up. I guess that means that I'll have to buy new tires too, eh?
