Directional rims???
Does anyone know if anybody makes rims that would be slanted forward on both sides? Basically, if you look at the 93-96 Camaro rims, on one side they point forward, and they point back on the other...anyone know if a rims been put out that DOESN'T do this, besides the spoke style?

I think what he is asking is, the spokes on your passenger side point towards the rear of your car. Question is, do the spokes on the driver side point to the rear also, or do they point to the front of the car? He is trying to find out if they make a left side wheel and a right side wheel which in turn would mean you are limited on tire rotation, and having to babysit someone if they took all the wheels off at once to make sure they get put back on the correct way.

After checking your other post, I see that the spokes do indeed point to the rear on the driver side. I do believe this is what he is asking.

Yeah Rene, that was what I was asking...I was tired when I posted it, so I'm not surprised if it didn't make sense. 
Z-F, what kind of rims are those, like brand and where you got them. Also do, you know if there were any other styles with the same idea?

I got them from my dad when he had his vette.
- He bought an aftermarket set, and I got his old ones.
I have since sold that car (along with the wheels) to get my current '98 Z. I'm sure you can go to a corvette forum and find some rims like that in good condition for cheap.
Hope this helps.

I know what you mean. My 95 firebird wheels have the same problem.
I have seen wheels that cut in the same direction on both sides. I'm not sure who makes them though. You probably could contact colorado custom wheels if you want a set real bad.

most aftermarket custom billet wheel companies make their directional wheels a left and a right so both sides are flowing in the same direction.
