its strange.........I bought a set of douglas ultimate rolled edge 4+1 10x5 front wheels from a local performance shop tonight. They look like the same wheel at a glance. Upon close inspection I noticed that they looked slightly different. If you lay both wheels on a level surface next to each other and lay a straight edge across the top of them one of the wheels is about 1/8" taller or actually wider than the other. I took tons of measurements and they are very slightly different wheels. One of the wheels has between a 1/16 and an 1/8" difference in offset. They are the same model wheel. If I had to guess I would say that one is older than the other and douglas very slightly changed the way they manufacture them somewhere along the line. I am sure when I go back to the shop tomorrow they will take care of me on it. Has anybody experienced anything like this in the past? I found it pretty strange. Matt
