I voted for the 01-02 but I meant to vote for the 98-00. I got confused because the later year style was posted first. I guess I should pay more attention.

Oh definately the older ones...I don't have anything against the newer ones but,in my opinion the older ones are the best.Sleeker and compliment the WS6 better in looks.

I think the '98-'00 wheel looks a little better (assuming it's chrome), but they're both still fugly.

Either way, aftermarket rims are a must on these cars. The only stock rims that look good are on Firehawks.

98-00 Without a doubt. If I were to ever have a 01 or 02 I would have to put some older ones on there.

That would be sick. I remember seeing where one guy got his rears widened to be 11's in the back to he had 17x9's and 17x11's, that looked nice.

Older ones are better. Also what about those ones that were in 2000 only? I kinda like those ones too. I know there's a guy on here with one like that.

I don't like the 01-02's. But luckly my 01 came with the older style. I guess the early 01's used the older style, then they switched?
