Lexus 18" Aero Alloys Front And Back Specific?

[sprinter2012]

Just picked up a set of the Lexus 18" Aero alloys today, and while checking the sizing info stamped into the back I noticed that 2 of them are different.

2 of them say 7.5Jx18 H2 e48, and the other two say exactly the same but without the 'e48' part on the end.

Is this to do with the offset? i.e. are they front and rear specific? Or are they just from different batches?

Any help appreciated guys :)

Also can anyone who has had a set of these refurbed tell me what the finish on them was?

As they look like more of a Satin Silver finish as opposed to a full laquer gloss.

This is the look I want to achieve, not sure what you would call the finish though..?

The finish is called a "Flat Silver".

Cheers for that. :) I can start emailing for some quotes now.

On another note, I'm not too keen on the inner lip that runs round the inside edge of the wheel. So I've been thinking about getting it sprayed matt black at the same time as the refurb, or at least a sort of dark greyish colour so you can't see it unless your close up, and it will blend in much more once its got a bit of brake dust on it. Makes the actual rim look much more low profile and sporty.

Here's a close up of one wheel photoshopped so you can see what I mean...

And here's one of just the front wheel done so you get the overall effect...
