Valve Stem Caps

I finely had it with the neighborhood kids swiping my chrome valve stem caps.
I wanted an anti-theft cap, but all I saw at first were "logo" style caps. I just wanted a plain chrome cap.
I don't know if anyone else has seen these but I found this site and ordered a set. I got them today and the quality is outstanding and I feel its the last set I'll have to buy.

I just wanted to pass on a good find......

No bicycle kids around here............there is a big bounty on them and boom boom stereo punks .I once was one of those kids who wanted chrome caps on my bike too . I just keep a 4 inch crescent in by glovebox and make them too tight for kids to unscrew by hand. If it's too much trouble for them they will go on to someone elses ride. (I always did too!)
I can buy a ton of caps for 25 bucks!!!!!!!!!

I bought a set of black-chrome plastic caps at PepBoys a few months back, which very quickly faded and became silver chrome caps. (not sure how that happened, but there was a definite process to it). They're all still on the car, even after having 2 tires patched and another replaced, plus parking all over Las Vegas.

I figure they were so cheap if I need to replace them again, no problem.

But I do like the concept.

I know what you mean. I just went out this morning, 2 of my valve stem caps are gone. Such a pain.

You're never going to win that battle...just get the cheap plain black ones and go with them...besides if you tempt them to come near your car with the fancy ones, who knows what else they'll take or do.
It's just not worth it. Not many people look at valve cap covers...except kids who want them for them bike tires.
