I replaced the wheels on my 96 with the 99 style (i think?) chrome 5-star (stock/OEM) 16" rims.... Only issue i ran into was the the hubs on the 96 were a TINY bit bigger. That center hub that the wheels slides over before you put on the lugnuts....

So, i had to take a dremel or file or sandpaper (dont' remember which i used now, it was a LONG time ago!) -- but i filed down the large center hole in the WHEEL itself until it slid on the hub. So, if you get them all set up, and they don't fit over the hub, don't panic, get ta' grindin'!

I'm not sure what year that size changed... probably 98? So if your wheels are newer than 97, I wouldn't be surprised if you had an issue when you go to put em on.... Not a big deal, easy fix!
