Question for those with the 18" Turbo Twist wheels..

So i posted some pictures of the car not too long ago on a few other forums.. and somebody commented that the wheels on the right side of the car are twisting the wrong way! Has anybody else noticed this on their car? Is it supposed to be like that?

Imagine in the first picture how the wheels would rotate with the car going forward, then look at the second picture!

Thanks!

They only twist in one direction so on one side of the car they point in one direction, on the other side they point the other direction

They are supposed to be like that. My 18" Cup III´s all twist one way and my Carrera 17´s (winter) twist in the other direction. I don´t like it. I prefer either a L/R specific or a symmetric design...

My e34 M5 had the throwing star style covers which were directional to improve brake cooling.

I don't know of any other directional wheels.
