Default ISF Wheel backside photo: position markings

Someone had a photo on here of the back of the ISF wheel showing the markings for FR, FL, RR, RL I want to show it to my mechanic so he knows what to do when putting new tires on.

I can't find the picture. Can you please post it in this thread?

Thanks!

Like so: FL, FR, RL, RR


Beware of the excessive Brake Dust that covers up the markings.....

Really?

My car was pulling to the right a bit and I did not inform the service dept. after service they told me they had to balance it out (guess they found uneven wear)
Now my car runs straight but I just noticed that they swapped my front right to the left and vice versa.
Is this ok?

-Not sure if they added weights

^^ Its just not right... & its pretty plain vanilla wrong.....

"They say".. the blades are directional to assist in brake cooling by drawing in air as the wheel spins...

Have them fix it.. !!

There is NO reason for a Lexus Dealership service tech to install the wheels wrong.
If they did, it means they were not properly trained to service the IS-F

For LHD cars -> aka Steering wheel on the Left

FL = Front Left -> aka Drivers Side Front

FR = Front Right -> aka Passenger Side Front

RL = Rear Left -> aka Drivers Side Rear

RR = Rear Right -> aka Passenger Side Rear

Sleep your rears are in fact on the wrong side. Fronts are correct.
