Welcome. Hot car - Seal Gray 542's. Saweet.

I noticed you have the HRE's blades bent backwards - as I did for my viper. I noticed in Duane's car and some others, where it bends forward.

Which is the true way to set them?

bent backwards is the right way as that is the way the stock turbo spokes are bent ... i had mine reversed

Dario, I may be wrong, but I thought the stock turbo bends were one direction on all 4 wheels. Just that when its on the passenger side, it looks bent back, but the drivers side was bent forward. HRE Addressed this, but still wasn't sure of the proper setting.

Thanks...Well I did try both ways...then I just matched the bends of the stock turbo rims. I guess it is just personal preference. I also asked HRE and they said the same thing. I wished they just marked the rim for right and left..would end the confusion!

you're right Shank ... i forgot that the stocks are different on each side ... I do remember back in the day, when I had bought them from ByDesign, they had told me it's a matter of preference ... I thought the reversed looked more aggressive ...

SG996... your car looks great! Welcome...

Trust me guys... bent backwards is the right way, and looks way hotter anyways.. gives illusion of forward motion because blades are swept back.

Also, you can't match them to oem wheels b/c they are unidirectional... meaning that they are swept backwards on one side, and forward on the other.
