I thought that might be the case, but I wasn't sure. I knew they had a different wheel option in 97-99.

My stock OZ 16's are way too small for my taste. Go with 17's.

16's are proably the best performance wise because they dont slow the car down with add'd weight and the turn pritty quick 17's look alot better then 16's and still dont weight much more.

Re: need opinion..Mags and tire..16" or 17"

I'd got 17's myself. Yes, they take away some power, but I think they look so much better over 16's. My opinion: 15's and 16's for performance, 17's for a combination, and 18's for show.

well, I would have to say in the defence of 18s mine are actually pretty light and I wouldnt trade them, they fill out the wheel well so nice
