Hello, new to the group. I have a 2014 Spyder RS and I want to change the wheels to a newer style stock wheel. Does any one know if they all interchange, or can you on some and not others?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Can I change to the newer style stock wheels on 2014 RS?

Welcome to the Forum. 
Your 2014 RS should be fitted with the Brembo Brakes and the 15" front rims those bigger brakes necessitated. All Spyders from 2013 and on should have the same size OEM rims, making them interchangeable across all Spyder models.
You might want to do a little searching and reading up on tires, tire brands, and tire sizes before buying anything secondhand tho, as many owners will toss the OEM Kenda excuses for black round things to keep the metal off the ground and fit much better and longer lasting A/mkt tires, which may have some bearing on what you look for.

Yes, you can't go backwards, but you can go forwards as Peter is correct. Any OEM wheel 2013 and later will fit any Spyder. I have 2017 wheels on my 2008 GS. 15" wheels give a noticeable improvement in ride and handling over the original 14" wheels which came on the 2008-2012 Spyders.

Here's the current wheels, and I want to change to the others, would they fit. It says it wont, but everything I have looked at and everyone says they will?!

It's really pretty simple - if your 2014 RS already currently runs OEM 15" rims (it should, and it certainly looks like it does!) then ANY OTHER OEM 15" rim will fit.
I can't readily see where that link of the rims you want to fit comes from, but I'd suggest that it's wrong if it's saying that or any other OEM 15" rim won't fit on your Spyder that's already running a 15" OEM rim - AFAIK, ALL of the OEM 15" rims are fully interchangeable across the Spyder model range that came out with 15" rims - I've swapped quite a few rims for various owners, and for all Spyder models from 2013 & on, I haven't found any OEM 15" rims yet that aren't fully interchangeable!!
If it was an a/mkt rim that's not necessarily the same spec, then sure, even if it's got the correct stud pattern, there might be a very slight possibility that it might not fit; but even then, if it's an a/mkt 15" rim that fitted onto ANY model Spyder and it worked there, then it should fit onto ANY OTHER model Spyder that runs the OEM 15" rims and work just as well on any of them - simples really.
Go on, DO IT!! You know you want to!

Many eBay listings have no idea what they are doing. It is unfortunate, but not uncommon. For example, take a look at this one!
