Why are the stock wheels not symmetric (right/left sides)?

The wheels have a twist in order to give the car a feeling of motion when stationary. They aren't symmetrical because it would increase production cost, and it's really hard

The wheels have a twist in order to give the car a feeling of motion when stationary. They aren't symmetrical because it would increase production cost, and it's really hard to see the left and right side of a car at the same time.

A lot of manufacturers, even Porsche, have done wheels with a directional pattern, a la Porsche twist or Honda GSR blades, but most do not make a left and right side specific pattern.
