Ya know, I am really wondering if these dots even matter. As I have looked at brand new vehicles on the dealers lots and I just don't see anything that would show the dots lined up with anything in particular on the wheel. In fact, the dots are all over the place on a single vehicle. Sometimes the dots are lined up with e.g., the valve stem and other times the dot is 180 deg from the valve stem. But most of the time, the dots are everywhere else.
