You have a some incorrect info posted here.
Car #1365 cannot be a 1999 model year.
Post the number stamped on the front crossmember and I'll identify the car# for you correctly.
WAW wheels were standard at about chassis #800...BUT...
Dealer and owners swaps of the rims were quite common.
All pieces are not compatible, so be careful mixing & matching.
There will be a new MKIII manual available soon that will cover in great detail this wheel issue. And in case you were not aware, ther were 2 different WAW style rims too. Once again...not all parts are interchangable...FYI...WAW's and Trigos are labled inside, but not the WAW1's - v.s. - WAW2's.

AC9CSLKI3 98 AM1 365

The car was actually built in 1998 but could easily be called a 1999 due to shipping time from SA or its first registration in the USA. And the car number is #365 because you drop the "AM1" from the sequence... Superformance started using "SP0" (thats a zero not an "O") on later cars with a few carry-over exceptions...There is a thread on this with a full explination on CC somewhere...
