On all 4 of my wheels, the bottom of the “H” on the center cap is aligned with the valve stem. I assumed the center cap was keyed, but nope, it can be installed in any orientation. I love the fact that someone cared enough about their job to do this! I’m curious if others are seeing this too.

All Honda center caps come this way from the factory.

Damn, here I was thinking the CTR was that much more special.

Not everyone knows Honda put the center cap with the bottom of the "H" point towards the valve stem.

When I bought my OEM forged wheels I took special care to align the center cap "H" with the value stem. It was the only way I could sleep at night...

Everyone above is talking about this being a tradition from the factory at Honda. To add to that, if I’m not mistaken Acura also partakes in this tradition. Cool Easter eggs!

Unfortunately, that’s not the case with Acura. Guess they don’t care about people with OCD.

Hmm… I’ll be darned. I only said that because I have a family member who has an Acura and their car is that way too. But clearly not all, I see.
Guess the obvious takeaway here is Honda is better for those with OCD. lol

I used to tell Mavis NOT to put the center caps back on after they used to patch my tires back in the day, for this reason. My S2000 tech Billman is the only mechanic I know who would install the caps back on correctly without me telling him. :cool:
