it is a little banged up. But it is a 96 wheel. It has the painted surface. 97-00 has the polished.

According to the sig, hes got a 96 and the rim looks like it could be used, however it is indeed pretty beat up. The only thing that worries me is that nice dent on the sidewall of the rim and the duct tape on the inside, might make the tire leak.... Dont know what to tell you man but to keep looking unless you absolutely need a rim now. Good luck!
