stupid wheel/rim question.

ok this is a stupid question, but I am going to ask it anyway.
how do you tell if a rim is a "front" rim or a "back" rim.
I am looking at two different sets of 15x7 rims, I don't want to end up with 4 fronts or 4 backs.
thanks
biker

if you were ever looking at 16" rims, my 91 z28 wheels say it under the "hub" cap in one of the groves.
