Pre-'04 rims were 16" all around, with them being 6.5" wide in front and 7.5" rear.
'04 rims went to 17" all around and they have a different spoke design and pattern (don't know the widths, but they'll be staggered just like the 16s). I don't know the weights of any of them, but I'm sure if you "search", you'll find both pictures and weights.

ps. This should have gone into the wheel/tire forum. Moving there now.

Then you might want to put this thread into the Racing/Competition forum. I'm afraid that I can't move it now that it's out of UTH.
ps. You should state exactly what you want to know and why you want to know it in the original post so people will know how to respond. If you had done this, I would have moved it to the proper forum where people in the know can answer it best for you.

The extra width on the 04 wheels are more significant at the track then the slight increase in weight. The 17s are surprisingly light for OE wheels.
