Thanks for the info, Front to back was obvious but I did not know they were Left - Right specific.

I love the details of the rims if they have a designated design for each one. Love them. But the front driver side will need TLC. Truthfully I wasn't that mad. More like what the crap.

Curbed my LR wheel hard while trying to leave the parking lot 2wks ago. Almost cried and went into a nervous break down. I had parked backwards next to an island and when I tried turning left to leave I cut the corner short. The wheel road up on the curb before finally clearing it not even the side wall of tire made contact with curb...nothing but wheel. Luckliy a dremel and some plastidip helped cover the damage. The worst part I did the same thing 1 week prior. I look to the positive as its an excuse to get new wheels in the future!

Women are curb checkers. Just the way it is.

No wife here, problem solved.

J/K

You can get the rim fixed. They just have to be pretty good at it since those wheels are painted, sealed and baked.
