Thanks, those wheels are Sportmax 962s 17x8 with 205x45x17 on them.
They come in 3 different colors, These are the Silver, they have flat black, and Gunmetal also

Kept em I just wanted a second set so I can switch up the look whenever I get bored.

Hey guys, I'm seeking a little help. I know this isn't specifically geared towards a mini, but you people know your wheels. My dad is looking for some 16" aluminum rims for our Saab 9-5. I'm having trouble finding some. Any suggestions? Oh, and the price range is less than $100 per wheel.

www.tirerack.com - did a search for an '03 Saab 9-5 and found 16 different types of wheels under $110!

I like the BBS RKs on Saabs - and on my MCS (and I really like this picture!):
