No not mine (yet!) - but the 6 month old demonstrator at my local dealership.
Not too dramatic, given it’s regularly driven by people unfamiliar with the Enyaq.
This is what scuffed 21” Betria Alloys look like
Ouch - though there does seem to be less of a rim protector on those tyres than there is on the Hankooks on my 20" wheels. Could just be the angle of the photos of course.

Here’s another one I took of the same demonstrator last month. I don’t have a photo of my one at this angle but indeed, there’s not much rim protection!!

So actually it’s nearly 8 months old. I took this photo when it was brand spanking new in early June. I think this was the first Enyaq I had seen in real life.

The funny thing is that all 4 rims are identical, so basically the rims look like they are misplaced when they are on.
Cant really explain this in words, but someone (goaty?) Take a picture showing the left side and the right side. One side looks like they roll clockwise, the other counterclockwise :X

You’ve spotted something here !!! Here’s mine, from both sides. Indeed, the shorter leading edge of the ‘turbine’ profile points forwards on one side, but backwards on the other side. I wonder if that affects aerodynamics at all?

Same on these 19” too. I guess most alloys are like this (so they can be flipped from left to right if necessary).

There are not many manufactures that fit directional alloy wheels, they are usually for the super luxury/expensive vehicles where looks and aerodynamics matter more.
Mainstream manufactures only supply one version of the alloy. In early days of alloys it didn't matter which way round they went as the design was perfectly symmetrical, but nowadays with these fancy styled wheels we just have to put up with it looking odd. 99% of owners don't notice or don't care !
