Hmmm - never noticed that - I must have a look at some point...

Sounds like one of those questions that you'll never find anyone to answer - but everyone will recommend you don't swap them over!!

Managed to find a photo of either side - and you're right!! I'd never noticed, but it makes sense now you've mentioned it!!

BTW, did you know that Ferrari offered those wheels in chrome as an option?

That must have looked horrible!! :ugh: Do you have a picture?

 

[Bazil]

Actually Bob - that's not as bad as I thought!!

Of course the person that ordered a white 348 should be terminated immediately - but the wheels are OK!!

Not sure what they'd look like on a red one though.

good eye 4kids3fish, I think Bazils wheels are on backwards!
It just means he'll have to run every 3rd lap on the track in reverse to cool off his brakes :green:

Don't joke - you had me worried for a millisecond!! Well, worried enough to see which way they're orientated on the 348 on the official Ferrari site!! Phew - mine are on the right way.

Also, and I'm sure this will provoke a debate, I think mine will suck air OUT from the wheels to the outside. Each spoke is an aerofoil shape - which, like an aircraft wing, is moving think end first and top surface outwards. If this is the case, the low pressure area created by the movement of the "wing" through the air will be on the outside. Therefore, the [relatively] high pressure air on the inside will flow outwards... I think!!! :green:

That was really surprising is the fact that this problem was raised from the owner of the F40 shown in my pic "punchinthe stomach": he was watching at my Spider and just said "Your front rims are on the wrong side". I'm still surprised by his acuteness.

That's a bit anorakish - and if you don't understand that, ask!!

Phew - mine are on the right way.

Don't forget to take into consideration the fact that you drive on the other side of the road ! :-? :green:

Hmmm - that's probably why my flux capacitor valve is on the left too... :wink:
