It's like the FedEx logo. Once you realize there's an arrow in it...you'll never un-see it.

In comparison, once you see the difference between an original round spoke, and the Chinese flat spoke, you'll never un-see it.

Not quite as easy to spot when they are in use. In 15 years of driving this one, nobody ever asked if I was running flat spoke or round spoke. The only comments were about the skinny front wheels and how "I used to have the same wheels on my car"... These are round spoke . The fronts were stamped 1969 "Firestone".
