Style #99 Rims ????

I've been searching high and low on the internet looking for a pic of the "approved" and enigmatic style 99 wheels as a winter setup for my Chicago X5 4.6... Does anyone know of any resources I can use ?

FYI. You don't have to put style 99. I have 18" style 87 on my 2005 4.8. I have also seen style 58 on a 4.6 belonging to a member of this board.

I purchased style 58 for my wife's 4.8is and the dealer told me that the fronts would not clear. Please chime in on this if you have any other info or knowledge.

That's what I thought. However, if you look closely at the third to last photo the member/owner showed how close the wheel coming to contact with the brakes. I could only assume that he/she is not having any weights on the wheels. I was told by my dealer that the wheel is VERY close to make contact with the weights. I don't want to take any risk. After all, this si my wife's truck.
