To send me a pic of the correct center piece from the SAAB Sonett (the one I am gonna get is an Orange '74). Has the soccer ball wheels with inserts that say SAAB but I have seen inserts on webpics that look blue (and are too far away to know if they say saab). There is a light film of crud over the car so it may be blue underneath, but it looks black Thanks Tim Richter snipped-for-privacy@nospammeplease.comcast.net
Found out that mine are later replacements from the 99/900 series. Still would like a pic of the originals if there is a kind soul out there. Thanks Tim
The correct ones are blue and (fragile) plastic. There is a black (tough) plastic Saab round emblem that fits, I think it was from the
99 EMS. The fragile plastic ones are more accurate, but I've never seen an intact set. Biggest problem is that, to mount tires on the rims, you have to take 'em out. Garage-type people aren't always so careful with other peoples' stuff. The black plastic ones (I can check for a part number but I doubt if they're still available) snap out nicely.Are the convex (dished in), or do they protrude as, er, kind of a truncated cone?

I can take pics, but, you really probably want to keep the black ones. If you don't want 'em, I'll buy 'em from you.

This is a pic of my '72 where the wheels have the black 99 inserts - these are not so difficult to find:
