I hate to ask this as I know I read it in a post somewhere previously but.. I can't find it to save my life right now.
I personally have a pair of front crosslace wheels w/o the 'pocket' or 'dimple'. I found them for a steal @ the pull-a-part- ($15/ea since they were aluminium).
They have a machined edge where the lace meets the..... rest of the wheel (on the tip of my tongue but, can't think of it).
I'm in the process of PCing a pair that are similar but, the machine at the edge is not there and they appear to be welded on the backside (like a 2 piece).
Aside from the machining and weld, there is no other visable difference.
The question... what year or is there something special about the '2 piece' wheels ? Just seemed strange...
I can take some crappy pics (upon request) if it helps.
(not sure if any ofthat made ant sense either)
