Wheels

They fit pre-88 c900/99's with the lug nuts.

 

Very nice in all black. Here's a pic of Breakin5speeds' '87 900t with black minilites (not shelbys but they look the same):

FYI for anyone looking to run these: you WILL need different lug nuts than the stock Saab conical seat lug nuts. These wheels use the same lug nuts as the Soccerball, TRX & Inca wheels, which is a shouldered lug nut. Part No. 89 47 277, about $6 each from the dealer. Since that's pretty expensive, you source some inexpensive ones from your local parts store (Napa, Autozone, etc). Another FYI - the pre-88 lugs are NOT METRIC. They are 1/2-20.

Lastly, the P/N 89 85 483 is actually for the six-sided Inca center cap - the Shelby center cap has been NLA forever. There is a group buy going on now on SaabRally.com to reproduce them. The Inca caps work perfectly though (I had them on my car) but just FYI.

Here's a pic of my Shelby wheels with the six-sided Inca cap:

I know! I wish I still could get a hold of the round ones....but the Incas do fit well..

Thanks!!

 

daamn i wish i had some $$ for these.. i have a couple sets of inca wheels i would trade lol

 

Sharp wheels Arte.

A co-worker here has a '90 Vert with shelby's. Its the only set of 88+ I've seen. Perhaps you have a set??

 

88+ Ronals



I actually do have a set of the 88+ Ronal "Silver Spoke" wheels as well. I wasn't planning on parting with them...and they do need a full refurb. I will entertain offers if anyone is interested. Cosmetically they are cruddy, but they are straight.

 

Good luck with the sale. I picked up a set of Shelbys with all of the center caps and lug nuts for $80. Quite a deal I thought.

 

I've got a set of the minilites and a plan for Li'l Red and Carlisle. We'll see what happens....

 

I would probably kill a man for those if they fit the later style hubs.

 

Yeah.. that's what my plan was ... except I had the pre-88 Shelby wheels redone sort of by mistake. I am just trying to get the refurb cost out of them so I can apply it to the set of the 88-on Ronal wheels I have that are very similar to them. Those 88-on wheels are of the ridiculously rare variety.

I may change my mind on keeping the Ronals though if anyone wants them for their car.
