Default Torque Directional Wheels

Can you order a Z51 non Premier Edition and get the Torque Directional Wheels. I am not sure if they are strictly reserved for the Premier Edition or not.

I kind of laugh every time I see them... They're only 1 direction. LOL

Hasn't anyone else noticed this? They go the opposite direction on the passenger side. LOL

My friend and I have been laughing about it since we noticed it. It's like GM decided they'd make just one wheel and not care what side it's for.

I agree. You couldn't give me those wheels. The silver Z51 wheels make the C7.

Yeah. I've noticed, and pointed it out a few times. It seems insane to me they'd design them to be directional, and then run one side backwards. It drives me crazy everytime I see the passenger side of a non Z51.

The set on ebay (if it has not sold yet) belongs to LMR, a Forum Vender, they took them off of their car.
