I'm not sure if i've ever posted any pics on here before but those of you over at SC have definitley seen my car. So here are some pics that i took this past weekend before and after i put my other set of wheels on. Unfortunately in the "after" pics the car isn't clean :( Anyways, enjoy and let me know what you guys think. :)

Unfortunately I'm not, they're going to be refinished 8 years has taken a toll on them. I'll let you know if I change my mind though.

The RK's are perfect on the car they look gorgeous IMO but i like to switch things up. ;) Plus i got the deal of a lifetime on those Verde's which are also gorgeous. Both wheels compliment the car in their own way, thanks for the compliments/feedback guys keep it coming, i like to hear what others think. :)

I think you think too highly of yourself. I've been on SC for quite some time but have not seen pictures of your car.:D

But seriously, I like it man. I did like the old wheels better, but it's all personal preference. ;)

Aw, I'm not surprised though i just recently started posting pics on SC out of boredom. (down time at college) I just threw it out there for those that frequent the OG9-3 forum, i've posted quite a few pics in the last few months.

I'm glad you like it though, not much can compete with RK's they're an amazing wheel. :cool:

Maybe another angle on the new wheels would change some minds, i'll try to get a couple more pics up soon.

I agree with you on the different looks they have. I have Borbet type fs rims, and they really make my car look sooo much more modern than my stock vikings. But in an ideal world, I would have BBS's like yours

They're SAAB/Scania OEM caps, they started to fade and chip from using wheel cleaners and from age in general so i just took some industrial strength wheel cleaner to them and polished off the color so they were chrome with the raised SAAB/Scania text and logo. I'm going to get some custom ones after the wheels are refinished if there's any money left over. :rolleyes:

Those reflectors are going to go, I just don't have tools at my apartment here at school. :cool:

Viggenkid, i think you miscounted the stickers its at least +20 whp :-D

It's actually a darker gunmetal color in the center with a polished lip but still, much more "in your face" than the RK's. For some reason these pics don't show the color differences though, crappy phone camera. :(
