That is stock from Porsche, Porsche did that do signify which lugs went on the right and left, since they are center lock wheels, the lugs can't go on the wrong side.

do they turn opposites? one clockwise and the other counter? is this so the left side doesn't come undone? I had never thought of that. they could have just put a little L and R instead of colours.

If I remeber correctly that would be right(I'll have to check and get back to you on that). Colors are easier to see than numbers

It is correct.

Also Ferrari Enzo and Maserati MC12 have them in blue and red.

Right I knew both the Maserati, and Ferrari had them as well, but I didn't know which colors.

Where are they?

So far, I've only seen one in person (on a country road between Kingston and Ottawa). I think someone from Burlington who has one posts here, and someone took a picture of one on Erin Mills Pkwy (in Mississauga)...
