i Know it sounds really REALLY dumb, but i was looking through one of the stickies and saw this:



heres mine....



personaly i like them the way they are, but every day i find some retarded, half-*** repair, fix, mod, etc. on this car.

the previous owner must have been a real moron.

 

yes

 

yes, nice car btw

 

i like them the way you have them too

 

but dont some wheels have to be a sertain way to cool rotors? just a guess i could be wrong

 

Will it affect performance even if the tires are installed in the right way?

 

thanks (both of you)

i thought it was kinda funny...

 

Ugh.

 

ill be honest, they look better that way and as long as the tires are mounted correctly youll be fine

 

they are

 

If you're concerned about it, just switch their sides.

 

im not really worried about it (and the tread would be reversed if i did). Thanks though

 

I agree in that they look best the way they are. But, for what it's worth, it looks like when they're mounted the way in the factory picture, the angled part of the spokes (fins?) will pull air out from the brake area akin to a fan.

By the way, that is a nice looking S4. I'm sure that's partly doe to the RB downpipe and presilencer.

 

Rims facing the right way = +5hp

 

The rims are marked Right Left
(perspective of sitting in the car. Right being the passenger side)

 

lol... as long as both wheels on the same side arent going in opposite directions, your good to go! ive seen that too many times to count...

 

the wheels may pull air out if they were mounted right, and they may push air in the way that are lol!

LOL i STILL havn't got that on yet, i never have the time or the tools!! How long has it been?? 3 months?!

 

I thought it was 10...

 

omg i switched my wheels around the other way and the car feels so much better now, my 3800 rpm hesitation is gone now too!![/noob]
