I am unsure if they can be turned either way.....
It's the same wheel design on all four corners so the broad spoke faces the opposite direction on the opposite side.

I am unsure if they can be turned either way, but It would be worth checking to be sure at least that the rubber is going in the right or should I say Correct direction...

I believe there was some discussion about this on some other thread (I may be wrong) and was a reason why some folks decided not to go with this rim. They only go one direction (no differentiation between driver and passenger side) so depending on which side of the car you are looking at, they will face your desired "correct" direction, while the other side wont.

Ahhh... Even as a seasoned 6speeder, this is the first I have heard of that. I am glad I posed the question.

Thanks for the info!

Well this is older sister. Been living here 11+ years. She's a keeper.



It has a two-tone interior as well.

Thanks. No, since I am in a silver car rut I name all my cars in the similar code.

Audi S4.....AG S4
Carrera S.....AG 991 S
Carrera 4S......AG 993
VW Touareg Diesel.....AG TDI

Gone but not forgotten are AG M3, AG 987, AG 986.

The 993 there is the first generation of 911 I ever drove (back when I was 18) and until the 991 came along no 911 has been able to capture my imagination as much as the 993. That was I think perhaps the best generation of 911 ever.

Thanks! Yes I am happy with my choices. The only downside with such a wide open wheel design is that the brake dust build up in the barrels really shows. But on the other hand I think these wheels are the easiest to clean.



Of course waxing the wheels helps a lot.
