Default Knockoff Wheel clocking

This sounds unusual, but I have found it's a hassle. A few months ago I removed the wheels as a maintanence item. After re-installing them and tightening the knock offs and setting it down off the jack stands, I realized that because of the clocking of the valve stem in relation to the tightening position of the spinner and safety wire fitament that the valve stem had become difficult to access with the air chuck for inflating the tires (for real!)
I have 6 pins on my adapters instead of the more common 5. In reality this is a minor issue but since I have to check and usually adjust the air pressures once a week it is a PIA. I think this is more of a problem with 6 spokes and 6 pins. I was just wondering if it was a problem for others with the more common 5 pin adapters ??
