Hey guys,I knw that there is a difference between the US market and Europian market as far as the rims are concerned. Some years (??) have simular looking yet different ap1 stock wheels. The pics I am looking for are of the rims where the longer spokes that reach the edge of the rim. Here in the US, we only have the rims with the lip that have a chromish finish.

If you have any more info on the rims in question, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!

The rims with the longer spokes are on the MY99 to MY01 ap1 versions.
The rims with the shorter spokes are on the MY02 to MY03 ap1 versions.
Here are some pics of the rims with the long spokes

 

Here's "MY03"

 

Those are the ones El Animali. Thanks! Anyone else have photos.. maybe someone in GPW? Weren't these also australian and japanese stock in MY99-01 too?

 

my japanese 2001..

 

Excellent. Anyone have a side by side camparison of the '00-01s next to the 02-03s?

 

Anyone else or anyone know of a local website where i can see more pix of S's with these rims?

 

www.tf4u.com in the gallery section but the server is down since today.

Should be up running soon again

 

interesting......i never realized that there is a difference except the finish of the rims.

 

Yep, I like those Ap1 rims better than the other Ap1 rims with the rim around it. Every year in the US for the Ap1 had the rims with the short spokes and shiny finish. Personally, I like the longer spoked, matte finished rims myself.... Those were the rims I saw on the car way back when it was first released and all there was was photos of the japanese model. Also, in GT4 the Ap1s have the JDM/EU MY00-01 rims, not the ones like the US has and your MY 02/03.
