How do you "know" that they're different? Because the stamps on the lips are in slightly different locations? That could be down to the difference in wheel diameter.

well im not saying they are different by alot but i could be way wrong but by the lip where, ill say the extra piece, comes out on mine it looks alittle smaller and my spoke compared to theres, mine looks a little thicker from the center to the lip, block out the extra piece and youll see what i mean.im guessing they might be the same but im not for sure.im trying to see what everyone else thinks? i drew it out to show what im talking about, the "extra piece" is in red.

Have you tried taking the wheel off and seeing if the name is stamped on the back of it?

I'm sad this needed to be asked, and even more sad that OP didn't do it.

I do, I think it's due to having a smaller diameter like toyomatt84 said. I think you already found your wheel.
