And that's exactly how they should be.vintagevrs wrote: »Not sure what you mean. If the disks are fitted to each side of the car, their orientation compared with direction of travel will be different.
I expected them to be like this:
If they're all identical while compared to each other, especially if all taken off the car, they're not directional, but indeed, OCD-wise it could be much better to have them like mirror image, 2+2. And some wheels are made that way, however rarely.MetzgerMeister wrote: »To drive OCD insane, these Mazda6 alloys are directional too.

I've never experienced a harder ride in anything, and I've put poly bushes in cars before. If you had any long term exposure to driving one you wouldn't have a spine left.
Also, no air con in a 2018, a touchscreen radio without steering controls, zero covers or sound deadening above or below the engine, and 75bhp from a 2.0TDI. Woeful stuff.
They don't come with covers standard but they do have the positions for them and ones of a Golf or Jetta fit.
I even asked the sales man to see another as I didn't believe VW were that cheap not to bother fitting them!

I don't know why you are making it so complicated. Tonight go out to the car and put each disc resting against each tyre/alloy and look at them and they will be the correct way.Interslice wrote: »
edit: those discs are grand
That's what I said last night????0 -

Are those 2 front discs or 1 front and 1 rear nearside/offisde discs?0 -

My work colleague had at least 4 (hence I knew about wheels). Now only 2 and he's proud of them.fancy pigeon wrote: »Would anyone openly admit to having a nice Probe in the past! :eek::P

Jesus, I am not making anything complicated. This disks I bought do not come in near/off side. They are identical. The BMW part is the same. Below is a picture of the BMW OEM kit fitted. In my opinion, it just looks wrong, but that's the way it is.

You were the one saying that you expected them to be directional as per the image you posted. 0 -
