Later Model Wheels on Older Model 8s???

I have a 2005 Ti Grey AT GT. Low mileage, body excellent, new rear bumper, original suspension, runs great except for what appears to be faulty coolant sensor which i am having looked at shortly. I really like the dark grey wheels on the newer models as opposed to the original 5 spoke OEM wheels. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if these wheels newer OEM wheels like on the 2010, 2012, 2013, would fit on my 05 an where other then the dealer I could buy a set?

Also I drive mostly on the street, rather spiritedly, and make it a point to get on the highway at least once a week and drive it on "manumatic" for at least 15 to 20 mile to get the revs up and blow out the carbon and just have a few jollies Other then that I was wondering if there is any good reason to upgrade suspension to high performance aftermarket package? If so, a reasonably priced set up that won't breal the bank but give me better noticeable performance? I drive year round on Conti Extreme DWS and love em ( NYC) . Got tired of the summer winter swap out Find they are great on dry, wet, and snow.

Sounds like youre talkign about the R3 19inch wheels. Good luck finding a good set, theyre very rare 2nd hand. Keep an eye on the for sale section or ebay, etc.
