fyi, c4's come from birth with wheels mounted wrong, rather than exhausting brake heat, the wheels draw air IN to reduce 'brake dust discoloration' for owners too lazy to bathe.
also,observe the vast majority of GM 'concept cars' have directional wheels mounted opposite from production (for aesthetics)...of course, anyone with such minimal taste that they would buy a fugly 'bugs bunny' c6 would not appreciate that.

LOL. This is how my 84 sat when I bought it. Really, sawblades going in two different directions? What neanderthal was mounting the tires...and how could you not notice wheels with this design were going in different directions?

Happens more often than we know. I spotted one at a car show and had mine mounted backwards on the rear after a tire change. I didn't notice till I got home that something just wasn't right. It's like someone telling you you have a booger hanging from your nose. I'd rather be told and embarrased than left hangin.

i'm just happy the C6 owner was able to spot the mistake. some C6 owners may not know the first thing about a C4. i'd feel like a srewball but i'd be happy that someone was respectful enough to point it out tactfully.

You must have taken it to the same tire shop that I did.
At least they got the directionals right.
