The only wheel option for the 1998 and 1999 model years was the magnesium wheel option code N73. There was no optional wheel offered in model year 1997. The MSRP for this option was $3000.

WOW. So the stock wagon wheels were only offered for a short time. This makes them collectable and worth LOTS of $$$$$

Now having just realized this, I'm sending my new "chromies" back and putting my '99 WITH its wagon wheels in next year's Barrett-Jackson. I see retirement to Florida soon!!!!!!!

'99 was the last year. In '00, they came out with the thin 5-spoke wheels.
