That's all that I think I see. Are the spokes of both wheels the same thickness? Are the spokes the same length? I mean is the length from the outside end of the spoke to the point where the spoke meets the center hub of the wheel the same for both wheels?

Dunno. Is it a SE w/ 6 spokes, a GLE w. 7 spokes, an early model year GLE w/ 5 spokes??????

I have a 2k SE w/ 6 spokes and I have the center caps. I didn't think the 2k1 models had the center caps.

I think the older version with the center caps looks better. The holes for the lug nuts just looks ugly.
