PP wheels quiz

[hiccup]

I didnt realize this after washing the black pp rims several times until last night. Theres a way to i.d. the rims 9" vs 9.5" by looking straight on at the rim face. Say you were at a wheel dealer and they were up on the shelf out of reach were you couldnt measure.. anyone know the difference? ..I do.

It is easier to clean around that valvestem on the front or rear wheel..lol now I cant remember

so i was looking at my valve stems and couldn't figure out what you guys are talking about. they look the same to me front and back

One is in the small spaces one is in the long. CaNY remember which is which but one is easy to clean one is even more of a pain.

yep you're right, lol.

the fatter wheel in the rear, valve stem is in the long space, front are in the little triangle space.

I'd say ford did this different valve stem location to not confuse workers on the assembly line. Maybe they use the valve stem location to know that they are mounting the correct width wheel front or rear. Has anyone had both wheels off, front and rear side by side and are they fairly close in width?

Mine are stacked on the floor of the garage awaiting arrival of the car & they are noticeably different !
