More specifically, there is no "right wheel" and "left wheel" from the factory, they are the same (except for the different size front and rear). I believe you can rotate tires/wheels right to left.
Er, yes, I am sure...



Look at the split at the end of each spoke. The "thin" split, is twords the front of the car (at the top of the wheel). Now, imagine flipping the wheel around and putting it on the opposite side of the car. The "thin" split will be twords the back. So, the wheels would be "backwards". Would many people even know? Nah, probably not. BTW, this applies to sport wheels only, not non-sports...
