22" Wheel OCD

Thanks to a few people in my office today joyfully pointing this out, the 22" option wheels on the Autobiography are unsymmetrical. Of course the fact all 4 wheels are identical is what gives rise to this, but given they're a kind of turbine design they appear directional which gives rise to them looking correct on the right side of the car as the angles go with the direction, but on the drivers side they look back to front.

I can only assume this is normal & that these wheels don't come in pairs?

"few people in my office today joyfully pointing this out"

You work with some immature, small-minded and downright nasty cretins with very poor observational skills......there might be an exception somewhere but turbine style wheels look reversed on one side of the car. Has ever been the case no matter what make the car.

No, the wheels are not made sided i.e. for left or right.

If OCD is an issue, buy something with straight spokes.

It's a good thing we all like different things as I think they set the car off beautifully & suit the car very well. I guess I'd have to say that having paid £2200 to upgrade to them. Certainly the best looking upgrade wheel option I think on the AB, however the standard AB wheels are quite attractive too. This is also the first time I've paid for upgraded wheels so am possibly a little sensitive Rolling with laughter

I'd never noticed the difference until it was pointed out & I guess I can never see both sides simultaneously, but does stand out more now it's been pointed out to me. As someone else said, once you see it you can't un-see it. Paul

There is one other thing that I noticed, and that is that the car is a different colour on the Drivers side than the passenger side..... Very Happy

Excellent Rolling with laughter

Does seem a strange scenario though for a RR as when you focus on the difference they do kind of look odd. I'm sure other cars must have a directional effect on the wheels so how do they fair? Paul

I too have a bit of OCD, and too top matters off, this different wheel pattern surely has a technical effect as well? The wheel will draw air cool air in or perhaps expel hot air in a different way from side to side. This could have an effect on braking and on the wear qualities of the braking components! Something else for consideration.
