Default Stock Wheels

It was noticed when I was having new tires installed on my stock 04 996 GT3 wheels that the numbers next to the valve stem hole on both rear wheels looked to be more painted over than the fronts. I would appreciate others with stock wheels to report if they are seeing the same thing on theirs.

Picture? What do you mean "more painted over than the fronts"?

The numbers on both rears look like they have twice as much paint over them than the fronts. Another way to put it is they are like they were repainted. It could also be that the casting of the rears isn't as definitive making it look that way. On my Boxster S wheels the numbers front and rear look the same. If you looked at your wheels you would clearly see the difference or not.
