I went to HandAAccessories.com and noticed they had seperate parts and prices for the stock 2001 wheel vs the 2002 wheel. Both fronts and backs were slightly more expensive for 2002. The pictures looked identical.

I did a search and I haven't seen this discussed.

What's the difference?

 

the 2002 rims have a slight gold tint to them on the sides of teh spokes. if you get a 2000-01 and put it next to an 02 you will see the difference i have an 02 and i went to honda for some work and they ended up scrachting one of my rims they ordered a new one but it was an 01 and i could see the difference i had to wait another week for my 02 rim. hope this helps
