If you can't decide put rears facing one way and the fronts facing the other way like I did!

The correct way as in my rears....

i keep mine like the first car.
it gives the car a more aggressive appearance, as if the wheel spokes are claws and are ripping through the tarmac...

i'll take a picture of my car today (picking it up from the body shop-repainted hood, and repainted from bumper from rock chips)

heres a pic from two years ago.

When on the road looks better rotating forward but then again all personal preference!

I prefer the first way, looks more aggressive. The 2nd way, while correct, gives more of a laid back, cruiser type of appearance. Well, it does to me anyway.

EDIT - The wheels on Scotts white car look amazing. I wonder if that's because you can see them better as they're not black. Anyway, I changed my opinion sort of. If you're getting a light colour wheel, do them the 2nd way. If you're getting a darker wheel, then do them the first way. My $0.02.
