Default 08 wheels different?

My 08 seems to have the same rims as the previous models. Is there supposed to be a difference from the 05-07 models?

The "Chrome" wheels are the same; stock wheels are different.

The polished and silver painted split spoke wheels are different in 2008.

My 08 has the 07 chrome wheel. I like it better than the split spoke 08. I cam close to getting an 08 with the split spoke. I'm not a fan of chrome will be ordering Hyper Blk Z06 style soon!!!
