I woke up on the first day of a new year, and was welcomed by beautiful sunlight. The constant rains had stopped for a moment, and blessed us with a bit of much needed sun, what made it even more rewarding, was the light gleaming off the freshly cleaned super Aero alloys on the 9000.

It made me think of two things; firstly, that life moves fast, here we are at the start of year another year already, and as I get older, it seems to go even faster. Secondly, how stunning are those Super Aero alloys?

Designed by Saab in the early 90’s, they have become some of the most iconic wheels in Saab’s history, in fact, I’d go so far to say, they’ve become iconic in the wider automotive world too. 

Despite their petit 16 x 6.5 size, these alloys look large against the 9000’s silhouette, the expanse of bright metallic silver and matching hubcaps hide the wheel bolts and are aesthetically, perfectly balanced. Tyres are 205/55/16 and enhance that wonderfully comforting, old school look even further.

Here’s to another year, of health, happiness and Saabs.
