Default Rim swap

Hi, I have a 97 ram 1500 5.2. i have the steel rims, which i don't like, personally find them ugly. Though staying with OEM vs. after market aluminum rims. I'm wondering if i can take rims off a 2000 1500 and put them on my 97.

Does anyone know if the lug patterns will match since they're both 2nd Gen rams.

If anyone knows that'd be a big help, thanks.

Welcome to the site, first of all. All of the 2nd Gen. wheels are interchangeable with yours, as long as they are from a 1500.

I thought I posted this yesterday but I don't see it, so; I have '03 style 17" 5 spoke aluminum wheels on my '99.
This is a funky link, a window will pop up, click download and the picture will appear.
