are the three spoke rims directional

[jeremypittman]

Just wondering. I noticed that alot of guys have stated that they have alot of brake dust. While I was washing mine I noticed that the rims look as if they are meant to turn in one direction. Kind of a fan effect.
Does anyone have any input into this?

The 3 spoke rims are directional...and if memory serves me...they are labelled under the center cap on the rim itself.

Yep, all four wheels are different. But for styling reasons only, not anything functional like "brake dust dispation or brake cooling". If you want to minimize brake dust, you'll need to get a set of pads from: http://greatbrakes.com
