Yeah, the reason for the question is that my front tyre seems to be on backwards i.e. the ' Front -> ' is facing the wrong way. I'm just wondering if I can simply spin the wheel around or if I need to go back and get them to reinstall.

I almost want to say yes to that...the only thing that worries me are the spokes on the rims. I wonder if that angle they have is specific??

You know what? I highly doubt rims can be put on backwards, because I've NEVER heard of it. I've heard of tires being put on backwards (your problem now??) so your idea is to reverse the rim positions so the tires flow correctly.

The rear one would need the sprocket swapped with the brake disc, but the front? Hmmm....

I think it would work.

Well, the spokes are meant to be aimed so that they're aerodynamic. If a shop put the tire on backwards, make them fix it.
