Default 90 Wheel direction

I've read several threads addressing which way wheels should look when left and right are properly installed. It looks like there is no way these rims could be swapped around to get them correct. it looks like 3 of them are right side

Not sure on the newer style wheels, but on my 84 on the actual inside of the rim was printed LF LR RF RR I believe, for all four sides, or something along those lines.

The LF is correct, LR is a "right" and both of the wheels on the right side of the car are lefts. Looks to me like there are 3 LEFTS and 1 RIGHT in the MIX.

Might check the suspension for damage or repaired/replaced parts as well.

right side wheels are subject to curb rash. It is difficult to find them in the used market as folks replace chewed up originals. It looks like the owner of this Vette didn't care or consider rotation and used lefts for rights.
