Directional wheels mean that they are all facing the same way when they are on the car, no matter which side they are on.

GTU/Indy wheels are like that.

So are my wheels.

In my sig, the spokes are "pointed" towards the rear of the car.

In this picture, same thing... just from the drivers side instead of the passenger side.

If you look close at the Indy/GTU wheels they say "RIGHT" and "LEFT" on them.

Yep, and 'vettes haven't had directional wheels since the sawblades on the C4s.  I don't think any GM has directional wheels anymore.

I could relate the story of the knuckle-dragger installing my Goodyear F-1's (directional) on my polished Indy rims (also directional).

It got even better when I told him to use stick-on weights and they had to go on the inside only.

Oh and don't get me started on trying to explain why Goodyear puts white dots on the tires where the valve stem should line up.

Anyone who knows cars or has worked in the tire/automotive /semi industry should automatically know the reasons for both of those. If not they need new careers as did the guy you got.....
