    Only have photo of to of one side at moment but wheels are reversed the other side i.e. Flat side blade at top faces forward

    so clearly there is 2 left hand wheels and 2 right hand wheels so they are directional but what way is the right direction?

    thanks

    I would say they are the same wheel so each side would vary much like the BE rotors.

    I think I am still eight weeks off mine arriving so watching with interest.

    The right side wheels are different to the left side

    if you put the back left on the back right and the back right on the back left the front and rear right side would then face opersite directions
    so would look odd
    so is it down to choice of look or is there a right and wrong direction?

    sorry my mistake the wheels are all the same the other side do face the other direction I've just looked and near side the blade part faces forwarded

    sorry
