Question Which way do these rims go?

On a S4 T2 which way do the stock rims usually face. Do they need to face a certain direction or does it matter? They are the ones that are mostly flat but have the openings towards the outside.

Should the openings be going in a forward pattern like a table saw, or backwards.

yeah, it doesn't really matter, they're circles

I personally like the backwards tablesaw, it looks better

Proper way is to have them spinning from inner to outer when the car is rolling forward.

Yeah those are the ones I'm talking about.

So the "proper" way would be if in that pic the front of the car was to the right of the screen and the rear was to the left. Making it look like a spinning star rather than a table saw. RIGHT?

But it doesn't really matter anyway.

Yep, that pic of the wheel would be for the right side of the car.
The car rolling forward to the right...

i wonder how much more aerodymic they are when you face them the right direction :P
