To the valve stem as stated. Came from racing, and is especially useful on my Cayenne wheels that have a stepped barrel and internal valve stem on the step. Front at 4 o'clock / rear at 10 o'clock
Always park your car with the crest perfectly level on all four wheels. That looks awful with them pointing in different directions.
You may be facetious, but in real life I was at a Porsche Road Show 4-5 years ago, and I watched the crew set up their display of various model cars. Not only were the crests pointing towards the air valves, but they were actually pushing around a jack that they used to rotate each and every wheel with the crest pointing straight down as well.
Thank you!!

(EDIT: no spacers BTW. I have some RSS 5mm spacers waiting to be put on).
This summer I will try to take some non-iPhone pics.

The points-towards-the-valve tradition dates back well before my mid-'60s awareness. It's --always-- been that way.
Fast-forward a few decades, and the wheels on my Honda Pilot DD came with the bottom of the H pointed towards the valve stems. It's unlikely that the Pilot's racing heritage played any part in that whatsoever. Still a pleasant surprise.
So ... Do the screw slots end up vertical (to shed dust) or horizontal?!?!
BTW ... As an aside three prong outlets get installed "upside down" in labs so if something falls between the plug and the outlet it will hit the earth prong rather than short hot to neutral. People look at you weirdly if you do this in a home
Sometimes the little things can matter. I'm looking at these outlets and am becoming annoyed with my sub standard work 8(
Vertical.
All the outlet covers in my house are vertical, and also the plate screws on the 997. Am I a bit ****?

Glad to see I'm not the only **** one here.....every switch and outlet plate has the screws lined up vertically and although my license plate screws are philip head they are aligned N/S/E/W.

And the point of my crests aim at the valve stem!

By doing a geometry alignment don't you risk the wrong torque value?
