Reversing vented style rims is actually an old racing trick used to help cool brakes w/ some cars including these era 'Vettes.
Sounds dumb being rim vents usually direct fresh air in but helping suck hot air out often helps more being there's already enough new air there anyway and the quicker it moves on through, the more time brakes have to cool down before the next corner.
