while i was looking for info for the "difference between Columba's & Perfo's" thread i noticed it had a part number for left & another for right. So after looking more into the separate part numbers came across these pics. Can't say i've noticed any T-5's having sided rims tho

Hmmm who'd have thunk it... Or thunk about it for that matter. Interesting that they actually bothered making them handed at all.

thats just it, i can't say i've ever seen a T-5 with sided wheels. The fan design must have a big effect on brake cooling so directional does make sense so both sides are equally cooled

I remember some of the mondeos had a problem with pulling to the left when breaking from high speed. Propeller-type alloys were suspected but never proven. They weren't handed.
