15" wheels on an '05 S cabrio?

I know the wheels I want (15" Konig Rewinds) fit on the S as I've seen pics. But I don't know if there were any changes to the '05 models from previous years that might make this not a sure thing. I'm also assuming the cabrio is the same as the hardtop S as far as wheel fitment goes. Can anyone please confirm? Thanks!

These wheels are for winter tires only. In the warm months I have 17" bullets.

Those 15" Rewinds will fit fine on your Cabrio, and should be just the ticket for winter use.
There were no changes to '05 fitments, just some new OEM wheels to choose from.
Personally I like the 15" Konig Helium - a super-lightweight wheel.

No trace changes on 05 models from older ones I believe.
