Fancy valve stem covers are just begging to be stolen... too easy to take. Do yourself a favor and don't replace them.

You can get that at AutoZone or any auto store really. Speaking of which, both times I went to Valvoline for an oil change, and goofs there get too lazy to screw my valve caps back on tight and loose one each time. The ones that are still on are 1 pot hole away from falling off. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Just use the plastic ones. Less weight and you don't un-balance your wheels. That is if you get thye chrome ones after your wheels have been balanced. Plus, as said... Kids steal them. I have some, so I think I must have done that when I was a kid too... Whoops! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG]

Some little punk(s) stole mine, too. But they also took one of the center caps on my wheels. I've got to get around to getting a new one. I hate the way it looks. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

I'm getting the low-profile stems from JCWhitney...kinda pricey for valve stems, but they look better, and they're probably harder to steal...unless you're a punk kid with absolutely NOTHING to do, then it prolly wouldn't take much.

I never understood why kids steal those things...maybe the centercaps because they have the logo, but why the valve caps??? just weird to me...
