bingo, the original mold was for a 5x100 and they simply drilled it out differently.

everything is golden.

you've got an 05 there.

also, early 05s had a metal coolant res.

Update.

Picked the car up and had a closer look at the SSR rims. As already stated you can clearly see it says 5x100 cast into the outside rim...there was a sticker inside the rim showing it was 5x114.3...so I am all good

No more worries.

And as a side not I took a closer look at my Work Emotion XD9 rims and cast into it's lip on the outside is 4x114.3 HAHAHA I mean you can clearly see it's a dual 5-bolt pattern.

Another dead nuts sign that you have an '05; the extension over the rear wheel arches to allow for the '05's 1" wider rear track.

on top of that, the interior cards have the entire arm rest in blue while that isn't the way on the 04's... the entire center console is different and steering wheel, even the seats are different

When I had a set of GramLights 57F wheels, they too were stamped as 5x100, but were actually 5x114.3

My 2004 (manufactured 11-03) came with a plastic coolant reservoir.

about the interior, all that can be changed, same with the fender flare for the 05's

Those would be "easy" changes.
