Did anybody notice that the rims for 348 have an asymmetric design?
There is any information on the performance (brakes cooling) of a rim istalled on the left side instead of on the right (or viceversa)?

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!!
Bazil,
The right position of the rim is with the thinner part on the discharg side for the air when the wheel is revolving. This should help air to enter into the brakes for cooling purposes.
Thus, never swap the tyres nor the rims!

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.

Right, Bazil.
Before sending my first message, I'd looked at the Factory original brochure of the 348 Spider. Rims are oriented as the figure in the official Ferrari site.

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.
