How deep they are, usually. A FWD rim will usually have positive offset, and it won't be deep. RWD's usually have negative offset, and are usually deeper.

EDIT: Yes, there is a difference. Brake clearance is an issue when swapping rims..

They look like FWD rims. Probably fit a lot of AWD's, also..
