Last winter, I purchased an as-new 2002 Coupe, with I believe, a 2004 frame, for my brother and his family. I had heard from friends in the industry that the wheel-build was the achilles heel of this model, so I replaced the wheels immediately. What we did notice was that while the rear spacing was 145mm, the rear hub was a standard atb hub with 135mm spacing and long axles. (that did make re-sale of the oem wheels easier) Yours appears to have an upgraded rear hub, but it might be worth checking the hub spacing.
