i could really give a crap....:P Alot of people say you MUST have the crest pointing towards the valve stem and also have the lock on that hole but, after looking at my poster of the 959 in dixons collection- which does not- i decided it really doesnt matter. Ill leave that to the people who are more obsessive compulsive than myself.

A friend of mine has a 1992 Honda Prelude, and the wheel centers actually have an arrow/diagram on the back side instructing to do so!

That is probably because they won't go on any other way. There is probably some kind of 'alignment' knoch that has to be lined up. The arrow is there to make it easier to line it it.
