ok a bit of a noob question, but i need to find the specs of my rims...

so i've taken photos of the most obvious markings on them

(this i'm assuming is the rim production number as the other 3 rims are stamped conscutively)

(these are the most obvious ones i could make out. does this mean the rim is 18"x9" ...not sure what J is with a 60 offset?)

(same with this 18"x8" with 48 offset?)


and these are the rest of the markings which i can't make sense of...

the rims are racing harts if that helps.

cheers for any help.

One of the pics where you guessed it is correct:
18x8J 48 - 18 inch x 8 wide with a +48 offset
18x9J 60 - 18 inch x 9 wide with a +60 offset

You have a staggered set of wheels (mis-match widths)

Also, J is the tyre bead profile. You can read more about it here (http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html).
