Hi @Tomley , I don't know about 5th Gen wheels but my saw blades had an 'L' or 'R' on them to show the correct fitting. Mine were on the 'wrong' way round for ages and every time I looked at them I felt as though summat wasn't quite right. Just have a look buddy, as they're asymmetrical, I'm sure they'll have the L and R somewhere.
These are the markings on my old saw blades which meant they 'rotated' forwards.

Still, the bottom line is that if you're happy with them as they are then it doesn't really matter does it? They look great whichever way they're on. ;)

But, but, but...
Which way do you look at the car to determine which way is left and which is right? :scaredtoss:

From the side wurly....

I think the direction is generally dictated as they are formed in a way as to draw air over the brakes for cooling.

Wonder if these are as old as the car?

Never seen stamped ones before.

So I bought a cheap (£108 Amazon) stereo to replace the even cheaper temperamental Double din stereo.

I couldn't resist fitting the Free reverse camera :D

I didn't want to screw it into the rear bumper, so got a bit creative.

Had to run a live feed off the rear wiper plug (JDM Yo).....lets me select it while not in reverse. And then connected the stereo 'Reverse' signal wire to the fuse box (reverse light power). So comes on automatically when sleeting reverse.

Reverse camera looks like quite a sharp image, actually!
