Mike,

The EuroCoupe wheel is the same as your original wheel. There wasn't a
difference with the wheels on the EuroCoupes, only that no matter which of
the three available colors the EuroCoupe was ordered in, you didn't have a
choice in the color of the wheels, they would all have the same color
Popsicle Orange wheels.
