Default Question about turbo twist wheels.

I was wondering if any companies make left and right side wheels so the right side isnt "backwards". Anybody know?

Funny you should say that. Back in the day I had a 1986 Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo that had "turbine" wheels that were differentiated for the right and the left. I don't think I have seen that on any other car. Funny that a cheap azz Mitsubishi would have it!

I actually got the idea because I saw an eagle talon that had simlair wheels that both twist toward the rear. If I can find some I would definately get rid of my cups for them.

Likely not because of cost. Much cheaper to make 1 wheel than 2 styles of wheels.
