Noob question, rims on 2005 Euro Luxury?

I have a Lux Euro 05 and it came with the 5 spokes, not the 10. I think they are a 17" though, not a 16". They are same as the ones that came off the Euro Sports model so I assume at the dealer when you bought the car new, you had the option between the two.

Earlier Euro Luxes came with the same 5 spoke 16" rims as the standard model. Only the last examples of the pre-facelift Lux came with the 10-spoke Sport rims, around 2006, perhaps from late 2005. The MY06 facelifted Euro Lux comes with the 17" 9 spoke ones, and the same wheel as the spare.

The majority of pre-facelift Euro Luxes seem to have the 16" 5-spokes.

up til 2004 both Lux and Standard Euros came in 16 inch wheels (so the 1st year it was on sale)

after 2004 the 17inch "euro r" wheels were added to Luxury distinguish the luxury from the standard.
