Aligning Crests to Valvestems.
I’ve always been a stickler for having my crests properly aligned on my wheels- but the new factory crests rotate when you drive - so when they are aligned they stay that way until the first time you drive. Suggestions?

Maybe try a little piece of painters tape on the lip of the center bore.

I run without centre caps - weight savings, because race car.

On my new C2S Endurance Racing Edition, all the center caps are perfectly aligned towards the valve stems.
Is this typical of all new Porsches out of Stuttgart and other Porsche models' plants, or is it because mine also went thru the Porsche Exclusive Manufktur line at Weissach?
I never noticed this before, and am curious...

My Porsche came with a self-aligning center cap that mates to a special valve stem called a Fetzer Valve. You have to prepare it with 3-in-1 oil and gauze pads to work properly... It’s not available on the configurator, you have to ask you SA about it and he sends a request back to Stuttgart and, if accepted, it is shipped to a Porsche black site with your vehicle for installation, which is why I can’t share a picture of it.

Not only that, when I picked up my car at PEC the techs brought a floor jack to a Panamera on display in the hallway, jacked up each corner, and rotated the wheel so the center car was upright. Now that's what you should do at home every night.

I'm a stickler for that too. 3 of mine will keep position and 1 keeps spinning. I think i'm going to try blu-tac or similar.
