Ok, i'm rocking the 300 zx 5 lug rims. They have like 5 fat spokes in a swirlish design..(thats the best way to describe them, but you should all know what they look like)
NOW, my question is....
Will putting the rims on "backwards"(meaning the "swoosh" part is facing backwards instead of forwards) be dangerous? Are the rims ONLY meant to face one direction?
Are they designed to take stress from one direction? Will it break/crack easier if i put them on the opposite way?
The reason i'm asking is.... I mounted the tires on the rims backwards... So to make the tread direction go the proper way, i have to put the left rim on the right, and the right rim on the left...
Im also concerned because i previously broke one of these rims. I dont remember what direction it was facing, but basically there was a crack ALL THE WAY THROUGH one of the "spokes". That was WITHOUT stress impact...just the stress of hard driving, and maybe a rim defect(i hope)
