reverse or fwd??? hmmmmm thanks for bringing that up, i hadn't put much thought into it.

Anyways, good luck on ur wheels. And putting it in reverse might look awkward, just like those wheels on those 91 Honda CRXs when they don't put it on the right way.
Yeah, the drawing of the wheel looks "left side" to me, the actual wheels all look "right side" to me.
HRE makes their 542R wheel directional, two going each way. Which "way" is left and which is right is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. The aerodynamic differences of which "way" they are installed are not critical.
No hidden fasteners at the end of the spokes? Is it a two-piece wheel that the center is welded into?

I was thinking the spokes go against the grain to the direction of the car.... car goes forward so spokes go into the front. I dont want it looking like a blade.... but then we'll see as i test fit them on to see which flows better.... i could always just swap the sides for different look.
I was looking at the Kranze as they are similar.... and on one side the spokes go forward and one side flows backwards.... I am liking the side where the end of the spokes point forward. Who knows what monstrosity I will make of it. You can buy new wheels, but ya can't buy taste....

other then these which I'm not sure what the name is yet.... there is the VIPRL2 which is also full face.
This is NOT my design! Jline wheels asked me if I'd like to try out the new design and showed me the drawing to which I found very interesting. My only concern was that they must be black powdercoated, although I'm still kicking myself b/c their other more polished cuts look absolutely stunning but wont fit my theme . Now several months later I am the proud owner of their newest design.
sorry for the confusion.
will update w/ pics as soon as I get these wrapped... sorry been out of town this weekend.
