Hey all,

Cosmetic thing that bugs me a little is the wheels on the Lariat trim. I do like them, but they look like this on both sides of the car so on the passenger side they point upwards towards the rear but on the drivers side they point upwards towards the front. I'm assuming this is by design and they didn't just give me 4 right (or left) wheels instead of 2 left and 2 right. Probably me being pedantic and really nothing in the grand scheme of things but wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way?

Very normal for non-variant directional wheels...been this way forever. Cheaper to only make one wheel vs two separates.

There are/were some options, however (3rd party at least).

Yeah, that is what I assumed. If I was designing this style though, there would be a left one one and a right one. But that's just me I guess and perhaps why I am not employed as a wheel designer :crackup:

You would make routine tire rotations a PITA

The worst thing about these rims is they way they accumulate dirt and the difficulty getting rid of it.
