The 98 had "wagon wheels." Regardless of whether they are really GM or not, he's already lying.

Aftermarket thin spokes aren't bad. Just as long as you don't pay OEM price. I have aftermarket on my WS myself.

he's not necessarily lying.....some people replace "the wheels that came on the car when i bought it" for the word "stock", even though it's not an accurate replacement word......he probably did not buy the car new

y2k's are "stock" or "OEM" wheels.....they just happened to come on the 2000 model car stock, and not the '98 model.
