Nope, WS6 wheels were still 5 spoke as the standard T/A rims but in chrome and came in the 17x9 size. Here is a pic of the WS6 rims as no rim like those ever came stock on a T/A and they must be aftermarket.

WS6 rims were polished NOT chrome. SLP sold some chrome WS6 wheels as aftermarket.

yeah, looks like BBS. ugly as hell. and FWIW, those WS6 rims pictured above arent stock either. they did change the style of the spoke and centercap from 2000-2001. 2000 and under say WS6 on them, while 01-02 have a pontiac arrowhead, with WS6 around the border. also, the style of the spoke is different also. 01-02 have flatter spokes, while others are more rounded.

Pretty sure those were stock WS6 rims from the 96-97 era when the WS6 ram air first came out on the T/A (4th gen). You are correct they did go with a slightly different spoke design in 2000+ with a dish apprearance to the spokes.

I think they are BBS's too, I'm always seeing imports (mostly miata's) with them. My old forensic science teacher has had the exact ones for about 10 years on her miata. Was it a factory option for miata's to come with BBS wheels?
