I just picked up a spare stock wheel to mount an old tire on to take along on trips. I don't see any directional arrows on the wheel and it wasn't marked when it was removed with about 35 miles on it. I know the tires are directional but are the wheels directional? No markings on the rotors either. Thanks in advance.
As the picture is of a dual disk rim not a "tire" the rim isn't directional.
If the valve favors 1 side and not centered, it should be mounted so it's on the throttle side.
The valve stem is usually NOT centered on the wheel............. I thinks its on the RIGHT side, it is on my 07.
That would tell me the direction of rotation
What kind of trip are you going on that you need a spare tire and wheel?
That's what I was thinking as well as why just a front,with my luck and prior experience I'd get a rear flat,seems to be the rear far more often being the driven wheel.
What kind of trip are you going on that you need a spare tire and wheel?
We go to Daytona in March. If I have a tire issue and need to be towed, I can swap out a tire and wheel myself. Why be towed to a service place and pay for a new tire to be installed when i alredy have one?
