hi folks,
when viewing a brand new Enyaq in the salon, I noticed they had asymmetrically installed Proteus wheels on it... then I realised ALL of them are asymmetrically installed... it seems to make little sense for an EV wheel to be omnidirectional - surely the shape of the spokes makes a difference between rotation directions...?
Is there no left side / right side version of the wheel? The dealer of course had no answer to this question, despite being an 'EV enthusiast' himself...
Proteus alloys - asymmetrical?
This has been discussed before - unless you're into £80,000+ cars, very few have specific left or right hand side wheels.

search returned nothing, so I was just wondering... but then why offer wheels with a clear directional design - are the aero wheels also asymmetrical?
anyway, thanks for the answer, good to know I wasn't going mad...! oh and re: 80k cars... fully specced Enyaq with any sort of reasonable finance is as near as it makes no difference 80k at the moment, just FYI... I just looked at a quote I saved in Jan 2021 - 37k... same car right now well upwards of 50k + interest... oh and you can't even get various electronics options, such as the 360 camera feature, due to the shortages...
