I love the wheels. I had my 90's wheels polished but the chrome is way better. As mojo said though they are on backwards. If you take them off and look on the inner face (you'll have to clean off a lot of dirt and brake dust first) you'll see that they are stamped "left" and "right". Whether they are chromed or not has no bearing on the direction since that was not an option from the factory. Chrome plate is after market. Enjoy the ride.

I guess I will have to take a wheel off and look.

I have pulled two of the wheels off and I can not find anything on them at all that would give me any indication of left or right. Only thing I see on the is D.O.T. numbers on the bead and part number down by the lugs.

Firestone mounted mine backwards too. Glad I caught it when I did.They had to dismount them and place the tread facing the right direction. I have directional wide ovals. Basically your rights wheels are on the left. Look for directional arrows on the tires. If none are present should be an easy swap. Are the fronts and rears the same width ????
