I don't know I'd like to see how the right rims on the right tires look!

I think it would almost be worth sending them back. I'm assuming they were road force balanced and installed using a touchless tire mounter. If you can't find a shop with the same equipment you should just send them back and have the vendor correct their mistake. If the shop scratches your wheels mounting and unmounting your tires then you'll have to deal with that.

Yeah I thought about that, luckily the place by where I work does road force balancing. It just pisses me off that they would screw up the initial mount. I mean I made it a point to remind them! Ahh well, no point bitching about it. They just better reimburse me.

I think in this case VMR should be able to help you with those markings. To me they don't make any sense. Does it say 18x9.5 on both wheels. Maybe take a picture from backside of the wheel.

Yeah I took it to a shop by me this morning before work. They verified the wheels were mounted on the wrong tires. Looks alot better. I'll have some pics up later. It looks a little strange now because its at the stock non sport height.
I'm getting an H&R touring kit installed this weekend.

I hope I can get reimbursed for the original mount and balance from VMR.

Good thing you got it figured out and lets hope VMR will be nice for you. Looking forward for pictures. After lowering it will look very nice. All the "weirdness" will go way.
