Default centercap alignment...done with a caveat

well i took my wheels off and popped out the center caps.
got the "H" logo lined up with the valve stem.
its kinda cool how the bottom of the H logo sort of continues on with the contour of the wheel spokes
an unintentional easter egg?
anyway, is it possible now to get all 4 honda logos facing in same orientation on all 4 wheels?
i.e. all for center caps are at 12 o'clock high for example.
is anyone that neurotic?

thanks

it is possible to do this once. parked and only if you drive in a straight line. Then, once you make you first correction or turn, the wheels will circumscribe a different arc and travel different distances.
sorry, your neurosis will not be satisfied because of physics

yup won't happen unless you engineer some type of floating cap like Bentley or RR that stays straight all the time

BMW uses spinners on the center caps now.....When I bought my car a low mile car with the original tires, I noticed the "H" logo was lined up to the valve stem...WOW I was impressed the assembly line workers did this..I work on the line at Corvette...so this really impressed me!!!

yes i have known about the spinner caps from Rolls Royce. Now offered on BMW.
better than the burl walnut inserts I saw on an S class benz with 20's and wrecked air suspension (slammed to ground)
but do the spinners stop lined up with the valve stem caps???? I doubt it.
