The rims do not have a direction UNTIL you put the directional tires on them.

The error was putting the rims/tires on the car with the tire arrows pointed the wrong way.

Note again that normal rotation practice for nondirectional tires is to swap the corners. For directional tires being rotated, each wheel stays on its original side of the car

It might help to visualize this if you draw this out or paper and/or use a toy car.
