Winters:

The pointy end of the crest should point towards the tyre valve. ;)

I think you’ll find that the shield base should point toward the tyre valve 🤓 but I maybe wrong as I am not a Porsche nerdy 😉🤐 definitely prefer the summer wheel look over the winters 👍

Well I did not know that, thanks. I will make amends when the new centres arrive.

For all your OCD people out there I have now changed the wheel centres for the new ones and aligned so as not to cause distress:

Same...nice attention to detail! Checked mine and they are pointing the correct way.

I also checked the other half's brand new audi. The four rings are parallel to the valve.
