Silly tread question

Hi all

Just a quick question if thats ok - I'm fitting some facelift wheels to my Leon Cupra and I'm a bit confused as to which way the tread pattern should face - the Eagles in the back ground are easy but I'm a bit unsure about this pair

any help appreciated

usually the arrow going forward. But not always, some are bi directional and some go against nature.

so in this case the wheel would be rolling towards the top of the screen or on the drivers side.

There's normally an arrow on the side wall to state the rotation direction

There will always be some kind of direction indicator on the sidewall if the tyre is directional.
