This doesn't answer your question, but...
When I bought my '00 Aero a couple of months ago, it had the three-spoke wheels. The guy selling the car told me that I could get the one-piece BBS wheels from a dealer in MI who was selling them on E-bay (~$1200 with tires)and he would give me a few hundred bucks for the old ones. I asked what the difference was between the one and two piece wheels since they look alot alike. His opinion was that the two piece wheels could have the rim replaced if you dinged it but that the cost would be comparable to replacing an entire one piece wheel. He also said that some of his customers found the two piece wheels to be harder to keep looking good (something about the coating wearing off and the metal corroding).
I know this doesn't help if you're looking to keep the wheels "authentic" but it is food for thought.
