If they look like mine, they are AWD.

if you can lay a ruler across the face of the wheel and slide a pack of smokes between the ruler and the hub center.... they are not AWD!

Damn that means I gotta start smoking now? So there is an offset in the rims I should look for? I was hoping there was some kinda code or maybe something that is stamped on the inside wall of the rim.

Thanks

yeah, RWD have the slot in the spoke, AWD are solid spokes.

or... if the wheel sticks out like this, then your car is an AWD and the wheel is RWD: :) :doh:
