96-00 had the big spoke WS6 wheels and the 01-02 had the Speedline WS6 wheels. SOME earlier WS6's or Firehawks had the Speedlines also but I can't remember which. Other than that the sizes are the same.

"Twisties" = I prefer to call them Salad Shooters, even though most refer to the 93-96 Z28 rims as Salad Shooters. I've heard mine described as "Sawblades" before too.

Yep, only on the model year 2000 WS6 Trans ams and Formulas. It was the N66 option. They are very rare. Early in the year they went to the 5 spoke, so very few sets made it out. I believe it was the standard wheel with the 5 spoke as an option, but for whatever reason, it got nixed. I believe since they are not uni-directional in appearance and people/dealers were not liking them.
