Default Wheels match?

On the Limited Coupe, are the front and rear rims supposed to be identical in appearance or slightly variant? For lack of knowledge of the proper terminology, is the logo slightly further inset on the rear wheels? Are the front wheels flatter in appearance, the metal spokes on the rear wheels subtlety more "indented"/angled inward? Perhaps because the fronts are 18s and the backs are 19s?

You are correct. The rear wheels are slightly concave (dished) when compared to the fronts.

the width of the rims are different...front to rear...

the 18" front rim is 7.5" wide and the 19" rear rim is 8.5" wide.

plus the offset between the 2 are different.

both of these above items contribute to the dish effect to the rear rim compared to the flatter front rim.

Cobra, yeah, "concave" is just the word I was looking for. Glad to hear that's normal. Was just checking!!
