Default In which model year did Blade front wheels change to 17 inch?

Any idea, IIRC they were 16" before this.

I've got a dymag front wheel in the garage which is 16" blade fitment, only it's a 17" rim so you can use proper tyres. Don't ask me why, right? I'm sure there's an OEM swap as well but I haven't a clue how you do it.
