Default Wheel Cap Alignment?

Sorry if this is a dupe, I searched with no luck.

I,ve decided to ****-up and point my wheel center cap logo at the valve stem. How do I remove the center cap?

Remove the wheel, pop the cap out, reposition the cap where you want, re-install the wheel. I don't think it'll line up perfect, you only have 72 degree adjustments.

Thanks, I think I'll try the small flat head method first.
