I found some more numbers on the alloy also...
Could someone explain what they mean...?
Thanks!

And is it possible for me to lower the car 40mm without any trouble..??

what size wheels? 40 offest probs the furthest u can go without major problems. if your on 15's, you'll need to make sure that your tyres are a 195/45/15-low profile. would also advise cutting the bolts off the arches at the rear.

PCD 100 - Pitch Circle Diameter of 100mm. Size of the circle that would be drawn if it went through all bolt holes.

ET 40 - Offset in mm
TB x L12 - Possibly Terbium which is a metal element. Not sure about L12. Something to do with alloy compound?
6 1/2 3 x 15 H2 - 6 1/2 inches wide. The 3 is possibly the bead profile, this is usually expressed as a letter, normally J on normal car tyres, but might be a different letter/number. 15 is rim height. H is a speed rating, 130mph, designed for H rated tyres I think. Not sure about the 2.
