02-07 Alloy Wheels Directional?

Post by DocDoug »

Am I the only one that noticed that the 02-07 16" alloy wheels are all the same? Due to the unique design, when on the car, one side appears like they are grabbing and the other pushing?Strange.

your correct one side goes one way one side goes the other... this messed up my winter tire guy. he mounted two tires backwards on the rims because of this.

Thats funny. I can certainly see this happening. I just paid for a set of the 16" alloy rims for my 2009 1.8 with factory steels. I wanted to keep the same size tires and look.
