"Fleabay". Thats funny!

The '02 to '07 have 1" ID bearings. Don't know about the bearing ODs. I just got a set of '07 SG wheels and they have 1" bearings. They changed the bearing ID for teh '08s.

2000 to 2007 wheels will work you would need to change the bearings ans center spacer on '00-'01 wheels to 1" bearings, but I would change them on ANY wheel I bought from someone I didnt know!

Does anyone know...Is there any difference in the brake disc mounting on the '08's with the Brembo brakes? If there is, that would be another reason to not get '08 wheels, even if the bearings can be changed.
