Does the RWD FSport have a specific wheel for each corner? Are they marked specifically like the ISF wheels? I've got my front wheels swapped side to side and it never occurred to me that these wheels may be made for their specific corners. Can anyone confirm if there are markings inside the spokes for this?

This is what the ISF wheel looks like.

I've done it. I don't see why it would make a difference unless it's only to keep track of the TPMS sensor.

On the ISF the blades/spokes are design specifically to extract heat from the brakes, that's why when u swap it the blades will be backwards.



I don't see that with our GS wheels, the spokes seems to be the same on all wheels.

That depends on your tires. If they're nondirectional go ahead and swap them.
If the tires are directional the thread will be backwards meaning you'll lose grip in wet conditions because the water isn't distributed out of the thread the way it's supposed to.
Also uneven tire wear might come in play.

I concur. If tires are not directional you can left right swap them. The GS doesn't get fancy heat dissipation wheels. Your tires will have an arrow indicating direction if they are directional.

Those wheels (image above) are by no means dedicated to only one side or one direction.

So I guess it's only for the older ISF wheels like these.

The wheels aren't, but the tires in the pic are....

My stock Bridgestone tires aren't directional, those pics I got from google.

As long as the Outside side is on the outside I'm ok right? The treads aren't directional.

I was referring only to the wheels, which is the thread topic. Directional tires are [well] directional, and of course they must be mounted so they rotate only in one direction when driving forward. But, back to those wheels, I do not see what would make those wheels directional in terms of cooling or any other reason.

Edit - Wait a minute! Does that top right wheel have different spokes (flipped mirror image) than the spokes on the other three wheels? Or am I seeing an illusion?

The ISF wheels above should have different spoke direction for the left and right wheels. From what I've read they're designed to dissipate heat from the brakes, that's why each wheel has a specific mounting location. The dude that took that pic must've gotten one wrong wheel cause the left and right wheels should have a different spoke pattern (should be the opposite). 3 of them look right but that bottom right wheel should have the same blade pattern as the top right.

The GS FSport wheels spokes however look all the same on all 4.

These are the GS wheels.

Agree!
