Default Question for those of you have the JDM wheels!

Just got my JDM wheels from MG Racing. Look great!!

But I have a question! The spokes on the 6 spokes wheels are tilted in an angle. Kind of like directional??? I guess? I don't think there is a FUNCTIONAL value or problem, but are the left and right wheels the same wheels? After you mounted on the car, does the left wheel spokes point towards the backof the car and right wheel spokes point towards the front of the car? Because that is what I got. Doesn't that look kind of wierd???


Can some of you post pictures of both left and right side of your car? Please!

Thanks!

They're not that twisted, so it's not really noticable; they're very businesslike..

Fronts are fronts, rears are rears, there's no side to side difference.

Check it out - the full pictures are rather large, sorry about that.

Oh wow... I'm in love! I've only seen the 6 spokes in the flesh once (on a Silverstone JDM car) but they look soooo much better on the red I dread to think how much they must have set you back!

The fuctional value is less tooling for BBS. Two molds as oppsed to four. Besides, who can see both sides of the car at the same time?

I never liked these until I saw them in person, now I love them. Plus there is the weight savings 2-3lbs each, all at a cost of slightly less than $1900.00

Thanks! Guys! Especially "jzr" for the photos! I love how it looks from the photos! And I'm sure I will love it on my car, because the these JDM Silver wheels match up better on my Sebring Silver than the shinning USDM wheels! (Especailly the 2002 has those Broze tint to the spokes!)

I knew they aren't really FUNCTIONALLY reversed, I just don't want them to look too wierd! Those new set of wheels didn't come with the lug nuts and center cover like on the OLD group buy. Can I use the center cover on the original wheels? (are they the same size?)
