Provided they were properly mounted to begin with. Take a minute to study any exposed hub threads to try and verify they in fact tighten with the top side rotated towards the rear of the car.

I say this because there are a few guys on Corvette Forum with Corvette knock offs that insist GM got it all wrong and they run theirs to tighten towards the front - I think just to aggravate the rest of us.

Also, I've seen a number of Cobra pictures with their knock offs wired to prevent their turning towards the rear. Not sure if they just wired them in the wrong direction or actually have the knockoffs installed backwards.
