Another vote for the stockers instead of the blingers.

I'm terrible at this, but here's a rough mockup of what it would look like with noob's suggested wheels:
And the original for reference:
Edit: I sized them a little small, but you get the idea. Looks good, not good enough to spend money on, though.

I like the original ones better. I don't like the standard five spoke wheels. They are very boring.

It's hard to find wheels that look good on cars, in my opinion. Over 90% of after market wheels look like shit out there.

Then you go OEM+. Looks terrific while still staying (kinda) stock.AHTOXA wrote:It's hard to find wheels that look good on cars, in my opinion. Over 90% of after market wheels look like shit out there.

Yeah, that is if you have a decent OEM+ option. Not every one does. Then again most common cars out there that have the wheels do have a rather large OEM+ selection that could work.
For example, I'm not sure which vehicles would fit the goat. I wonder if Vette wheels would have worked.

What's your bolt pattern? I've seen lots of Saab wheels on Craigslist but every time I look them up, they're not VW/Audi patterned. VW MKV and similar-era Audi models: 5x112.
