Stuck trying to buy alloys for my old saab.
(don't even get me started on rear wheel bearings - which don't exist as new and I had to buy a second-hand one)
SAABS are one of the very few cars where aftermarket alloys look curse word on.... apart from one elusive style
This saab is the dogs danglies with them.
The rare-as-they-come Ronal Turbo in 114x3 - I know what other saab people may be thinking, that the above car is a later model - but it isn't. Well, it is, but it is one of the very few to come with upgraded front but with the front handbrake, hence the 114x3 PCD.
What other cars have the 114x3 pcd? - If I go to any alloy wheel place and tell them my car they just either think it's got the later model PCD or tell me they don't do anything.
Your help would be very much appreciated .....

I don't think any cars have a 114 x 3 PCD but many new and old Japanese cars, some Volvos and some old British cars such as the MGB, Reliant Scimitar, various Triumphs and some Rovers do have a 114.3 x 4 PCD  but as mentioned above, Google or similar will provide a more complete list  |

Are Saab's 4x114.3? I thought they were 4x108, which is Ford fitment?

Have you tried Compomotive or Image wheels ?
Pretty sure either can supply wheels for any car that's ever been made.
Also sure Image do a style very close to the ones pictured.

Hotwire front handbrake (pre 87 iirc) are 114x4, 108x4 after. agree about the Ronal turbos being the only aftermarket alloys that work, Saab OEM wheels were made by Ronal

Well then there are literally near limitless options with wheels for Japanese cars .. including suitable looking 'turbo' style wheels.

Pre 87 is 114 Saab's are one of the very, very few manufacturers that changed the PCD of the same model within the model lifetime. Couldn't figure out why the handbrake is on the front, until I found out that if you have brake failure, you can still bring the car to a controlled and safe stop. |

Surely the obvious choice is Lotus Turbines?
Might be a bit small in 14s though, as they look like 15s on that Saab.

Rang Compomotive - 780 for a set without tyres. Not good, but just applied for a credit card online and got accepted! Got 1k credit limit so the wheels will be purchased. Compomotive TH1581.
Thanks to everyone on here that helped, and those that directed me towards that funny named site that lists everything, Google.
