  Nice Rims - Where did you get them from ? Any Holes in your wallet?

  Saabster: There are many free image hosting sites out there. I use Photobucket
  
  After you upload your pics (check for maximum file size, etc) you can hotlink your images to anything you post on forums, message boards, auction sites, etc.
  
  Now go to the album containing the image you want to post. You'll find several options for that image. Cut and paste the one that says "[IMG]your image URL[/IMG] "
  
  Some sites have the word "IMG" in upper case. This forum requires "img" to be in lower case, so you gotta do that.

  I got them from a shop in Bukit Timah. They are quite light (11kg), TUV approved, and cost less than half the price of SAAB factory rims.
  
  I only wish that the SAAB center cap would fit into these aftermarket rims. They are different sizes.

  Wow! What a shine! Did you use some kind of fill-flash? Can see your radiator behind the front apron. Also, are those plates superimposed, or real?

  Saabs depreciate about $40K in the first 2 years. Check out this thread. So if you are shopping for a used Saab, best bargains are 2-year old ones.
  
  We shouldn't be discussing depreciation in this thread, though...

  After GreyMatter spoiled the market, I feel a bit shy to post my bog-standard ride here.
  
  The last 2 pics were taken after I just washed the car today. Won't stay like that for long!

  Yes they are still 5/110 fitments. ET41 might be different from the 900S. TE stocks a number of models, but they're quite ex. They've also got special offer rims, I think $200/piece. Check it out...

  Just trying to be funny.. oh all right, I'll go and edit my mods list. Saabster's ride does look better, a bigger set of wheels to fill up the arches would really complete the picture.. how saabster?

  Wait for the Fab Four loh......Maybe can group-buy and get discount!!
  So how Doodler !!??

  A bit hard to group buy wheels cos everybody will like a different brand, but maybe can consider for things like the exhaust upgrade. Gotta try and space out the mods though, otherwise the wallet can't take it!

  BBS RK are really HOT!!! They are forged, right? So should be really strong and light. Don't forget to post pics in the PicStop when you've put them on your Aero! *drool*
