Induction rims direction

[Manbutter]

I’ve always noticed with cars that have turbine style rims or hub caps that the direction of the “fan blades” are always asymmetrical. Meaning that the rims on the driver side are identical to the passenger side. This create an asymmetrical looking direction. Is this intentional or was the manufacturer just lazy and molded all 4 rims the same?

This is what is happening with my Y. The driver’s side would appear to push air to the left while the right side would ALSO push air to the left.

Silly, but it kind of bothers me.

Thanks alot, same with the uberturbines. I have to sell my rims now as I can't stop staring

I will try to avoid checking this as it will probably drive me crazy.

they are all 4 the same. I have thought about this too but the cost for them to have 4 different wheels on every vehicle is very high cost.

Kinda drives me nuts too…. I would absolutely pay extra to have the blades all point same direction on each side!

True. But it would just be two different pairs of wheels.

I always thought the "blade end" of the turbines should be forward facing when rotating forward. The way it spins now, air would go in from the passenger side through to the driver's side in a flow through (except the car's bulkhead is blocking). If the wheels were how I envision it, both tires would be sucking air from the middle and undercarriage and shooting them out the driver and passenger sides, perhaps cooling the brakes more effectively?

Geez, I'm really overthinking this...
