Default 2013 - 2014 rays wheels directional question

I looked and didn't see anything in 30+ pages of the forum but doesn't mean it's not there already - or I missed it.....

So today I had an admirer of the car point something out to me. The car is 2 months old to my wife and I......( I never noticed until he said something about it)

The wheels on the Driver and Passenger sides are both forged in the same direction. Is this truly the way the car comes as I've been told - or did prior owner smack curb and get wrong wheel replacements and now I have 2 passenger side set's mounted????

I've posted pics of both sides as it sits. I've seen pictures online that seem to have the wheels in opposition - but that could have been photoshop'd for marketing purposes.

It would have been a plus if Nissan produced dedicated wheels for each side. It is one of my minor pet peeves with this car. But no one can see the difference when the wheels are rolling.

But then you would not be able to rotate tires side to side, at least it would be unlikely as the only reason I know that they have ever made dedicated wheels per side is for increased air flow to brake rotors. So I would rather be able to swap wheels side to side and get at least as much even wear as possible out of em.
