I keep noticing distinctions being made on all of the sites I am look at to get a replacement for my cracked wheel. Does it make a difference which ones I get? I am resorting to getting a pair of factory wheels after I have had no luck finding an ASA 18" JH38 with the right lug pattern (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... &viewitem= is the right size and model with the wrong lugs)

You have aftermarket wheels then? Or what are you asking?

OEM Coupe wheels are staggered, rear being wider than front and would depend on which OEM wheel to know the size.

Yeah right now I have a set of ASA JH38's but I can't find them anywhere except for the one ebay retailer and that has the wrong lug configuration so I was going to resort to cheaping out and just getting two OEM wheels (since they look pretty similar anyway) soa that it is balanced left and right. Sounds like if I get a pair of rear OEM wheels I just would want to swap out the rear ASA's and put them up front then?

The difference is slight...only .5 inches between the OEM 19's (8" front, 8.5" rear) Not sure on the 18's...

Believe the 17s and 18s were the same. 7.5" front and 8" rear.

Edit: sticky thread shows the OEM 18s as 18x8 all around
