Twists W/A twist - MATTS92 - 11-27-2007
Does any one know if real Porsche turbo twwist wheels are directional? i just got a set of used 17" ones from ebay. The left rear looks backwards. I think they shold turn like a fan with points facing rear. Thanx Matt

no, they go both ways (forward and back). That's why some don't like them.

lol - there are a couple of us here that have commented about that particular oddity - when the spokes are leaning back, i'm fine, but i think when the spokes are leaning forward it looks weird

Never look at the passenger side, and you will never know they are "backwards".

That's why I sold my set of perfect 17" "twist" wheels - I can't stand the "coming" and "going" look. Years ago, I'd gone +2 on wheels and tires for a Saab 900 convertible, and looked and looked until I found an asymmetrical wheel that came with left and right sides. One of my very few idiosyncrasies (according to me, of course - don't ask my wife, though).

aftermarket replicas are sometimes made to have an opposite twist direction...
if it really bugs you, sell two of the real ones and buy two fakes, then it will look "right"
