looks to me that the one in the right is the same shape as the one on the top and the one on the bottom looks to be the rear!! To my eye

I've also noticed that digital cameras seem to do weird things with the depth of field or perspective (if either is the right term). I've had the same size distortion happen with parts pictures I've taken.

I agree with rich b.
Here is a pair of identical 15 x 6 wheels, placed pretty close
together for the picture, yet one looks smaller.

These were still for sale when I posted this and I see they are now gone . Seems to me the last set of these I saw for sale were REALLY EXPENSIVE !!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully someone that needs them got them and not just a hustler but that takes it's own course . David J
