Question about sport wheels....

Initial Z · 08-24-2012, 12:45 AM

Are they directional or does it matter?

The wheels are not, no.

You would know because there would be an arrow on the sidewall the way the tire would rotate (directional) if they were. Also the way the tread would be. If you’re trying to rotate side to side you can't. Let alone front to back since staggered. Why do you ask?

LoL…. Talk about attention to detail. Is there such a thing when it comes to wheels. I automatically assumed tires.

Do your wheels have treads cut into them?

Yes.

Besides that, some tires are directional and some are not. There was no mention if the tires on these wheels would be OEM, etc.

Yes I was reffering to wheels, the 90-96 300zx had directional wheels. It was a way to cool the brakes. I just wanted to make sure when I get new tires soon that I don t have to babysit the techs to make sure the wheels go on the proper side
