OP if you can find the exact sizes and offsets I'd actually take them off your hands

I had one of those for awhile with those wheels, bugged me that the ones on the passenger side were the same as the drivers side so backwards (IYKWIM) should be “sided” for my CDO’s

Blobcat. Could it be argued it's intentional? In Germany the turbines on each side were pushing the right way to counter the effect of road camber :D

I suppose it could be to counteract the pulling to the right in Germany but that argument doesn’t work here. As the car and the wheels will make it veer even more to the left.
Better stop now as I think this is getting too political

I like em, but maybe in a different colour.

The turbine is for brake cooling,
now we've to decide if this works better with cooler air being pulled in to cool the hot brakes, or for the hot brake air to be pulled out as would be on t'other side, and in Germany as well.
