My rotors are on wrong.

I was walking to my car at lunch, and a guy actually stopped me, to tell me that my rotors were on the wrong side. He said the crossdrilled holes were going in the wrong direction.

I just laughed it off, and said I would let the dealership know that they put them on wrong.

It now has me thinking though to check later if it's true.

I know the important thing is the venting of the rotor, if the vaines are pointed in a direction, but I'm not sure if ours are.



I think he's wrong, but I'm not opposed to asking the opinion of others.

By the way I think your rims are on backwards, arn't the valve stems supposed to be on the inside!

I knew I'd get some funny responses.

Not having pulled the wheel off, and inspected the rotors, I'm unable to determine myself if the cooling vanes are actually pointed in the right direction.

I'm not an idiot, I built my own boosted LS motor from a bare block, and have done just about everything car related, including tuning on my own. I know the front rotors and pads were replaced during the CPO process, and I wouldn't put it past a dealership to mess up something like that, hence why I asked.

But thank you for your insightful response.

There is no LEFT/RIGHT fitment. The front rotors use the same part number
