I've always known it was the case but have not given it much thought.

If she were wearing left shoes on both feet, yeah, I'd expect there's something wrong with her.

I've always preferred the left side myself.

I never see the passenger side, but I prefer the spokes going forward.

Take care,
There is a natural flow from inside to outside of the wheel, the twists hence on one side and detract on the other

Never had twists, so have no idea. But why would you have twists when these are available :
