Think about it. If you could just take your wheels off the right and put them on the left and vice versa the blades change directions, its like turning your wheel a 180. Or is this a joke?

you are incorrect, maybe i explained it poorly, one side faces one direction, the other side faces the otehr direction, if i switched them, it would just be the same thing, just on the other side.

I understand what u are saying. If you have your wheel on the right side it will be "sawing" one way but if u put that same wheel on the other side it will be "sawing" the other way. It is like that on my car too. You are talking about the stock saw blades right? I think I know what u r saying but if I am confusing you even more,sorry.

If I am not mistaking they don't have the wheels all facing one direction, one side goes one way and the other side goes the other.

maybe you're still explaining it poorly. For my wheels, the spokes sweep towards the back on the drivers side and sweep toward the front on the passeger's side. This is not because anybody *stole* one side of my wheels, it's simply because they did not make a specific passenger of driver's side wheel. The spokes are curved, and thus the direction of the curve is switched upon rotating the side facing outwards 180 degrees i.e. facing out from driver's side to facing out on passenger's side. Sure they'd all be facing the same direction with the same outward facing sides pointed in one direction, but I don't think it's very practical or safe mounting a wheel inside out http://www.momo.it/momoeng/set1.html , then click on MOMO tab, then Wheel tab, then scroll down to twin. Click on either wheel displayed. Click on Audi or BMW icon. You will see how they switch direction according to what side they are mounted on.

If they wanted to make them face one way, they would have to make 2 different wheels.
