I just recently purchased a lime green'04 9-3 Aero convertible, aka "mellow yellow" w/33K miles. I'd like to thank you all, in particular Roto for all the knowledge and wisdom. It was you that gave me the confidence to take the plunge. I'll try to upload photos. I like the original 17"rims, however, I will get some 19"s in black/chrome. I got a steal ($11,500) on the vehicle so now I have room to customize. The mechanicals were in excellent condition per dealership pre-purchase inspections. Carfax said it had a clean history, however, an independent inspection revealed a minor wreck to the fender.

 

Well, welcome to the forum I'm sure you'll love the car, before you jump into 19" wheels I think you should consider a set of lightweight 18s instead. Also if you find a set you like, but in the wrong finish I know just the place to get great finish done on the wheels. My gold wheels turned out pretty well
