What wheel direction is correct ( pictures)
I have a doubt, is there a correct wheel direction? I know that tires do, but what about the wheels?
Which one is correct, the blue or white Vette?
Would this influence handling, brake cooling, etc; or is this an issue of aesthetics?

The blue car is correct, just like on a real saw.

The early C4 wheels(84-90) were designed to draw air in to cool the brakes. The later(91-96) were designed to let the air out.
All the wheels are marked on the inside of the rim for left and right.

Early sawblades point to the front. Later sawblades like the ones on the red car should point to the rear. They are shown incorrectly installed in my pic.

OK, If one is in Australia/New Zealand (Down under as we call it in the States), while the other is in North America; which way should the wheels rotate???????
More confusion.

The sawblades on later C4's were designed to pull air out, so shouldn't that cause the car to drop? (though I'm sure nothing would happen <150mph
)
