Default 2002 Ram Air Wheels????
Does anyone know when they changed the TA Ram Air wheels from the simple 5-spoke to the 5-spoke with the recess in the middle of the spoke?

Thanks

Was it a mid-year addition? I see some 01 with the old style wheels.

So those wheels were only offered in 01 and 02. Thanks, I am looking at an 01 with the 98-00 wheels on it.
