Who cares what you do with your car, John.  It's your ride and it's your
life.  Have fun! :)

That's it.  Someone told me that you can get minilite wheels for the
Saabs pretty cheap, but I'm not sure on price or availability.  I
imagine you can get them with different offsets to fit the B.  

Take care
