Okay I have searched but have come up with several different answers. My question is whats the proper way to have my wheels on. I had hoped they were on right but I guess the Mazda dealer doesnt even know whats right :| I guess this is also the first time I have posted pics of my car

switch your left front with your right rear.

Yep, wheels should "spin with the car" when moving forward.
So in the top pic, the front wheel needs to be swapped.
In the bottom pic, the rear wheel needs to be swapped.

Had the wheels polished??

too quick a reply, ted. he needs to swap either two of the diagonally opposed tires (ie either rr&lf or lr&rf) depending on what he wants them to look like.

to the original poster - you have two "clockwise" and two "counter-clockwise" rims. functionally, it doesn't matter which way they "point". it's all astetics personally I like the "rolling forward" look like your right front tire. so I would swap your left-front with your right rear.

note that if you have "directional" performance tires, you need to make sure that they all point in the right direction once you get your rims move. if they don't, you will have to have them remounted.

hope this helps,
