Default Wheel Question - 18" Turbines

I purchased four almost new 18" turbines with A/S for the winter months, which will replace my 19"s in a few weeks. On each of the four wheels, the blades face the same direction, meaning that on one side of the car, the blades are rearward facing, on the other, forward facing. That is the case with new wheels that come from the factory on your cars, correct?

Default Same situation with my P-car ...

the 18" turbo twists are the same direction all around - same as the TT - I guess it's cheaper to produce unidirectional wheels, but it sure doesn't help the look.

Good thing no one can feasibly watch both sides of your car at the same time
