extremely annoying!!! this must be one of the most annoying things ever because there's pretty much nothing you can do about it unless you keep your car indoors at all times and who does that?
what am i talking about?
last month some b@stard stole all four chrome valve sleeves off my rims so i went and bought another set for $5. today i noticed that they were gone again! they're so damn cheap you have to wonder why people have to steal them? f*ck! i think i'll just leave them off this time. who needs those little caps anyways? it's not like my tires will leak air without them on.

This is Ridiculous! Why do people have no respect for other peoples property!?
Same dam thing happened to me, I never noticed it until my friend pointed them out, and they only stole two out of the four valve covers, I hope i can buy the same ones in Canada since i got these from the Phillipines.!

Rep Power: 0 hah i want to get those valve covers, $5 thats it? from where, i didn't get em with my rims and i had to put those nasty bicycle ones on hah, those black plastic ones, nasty!
my chrome ones got stolen as well ... then I use black caps with my oem wheels ... now I am using some special shaped caps (well not special but not normal kinds) for my wheels so I dont think they'll be interested ...
i have two stolen on one side.. and two are still attached on the other side.
i didnt bother buying new ones... at least not yet.
but i think the people that stole mine ...might be kids. to put them on their bikes.....??

Rep Power: 0 You are exactly right AznSaint. Kids steal them to put them on the bikes. My cousin's were stolen about a month ago right in front of my house. I see kids in the neigbourhood with chrome air caps. Little punks!!!!
Where can i Get a new set of chrome valve covers cause its really bugging me! In the Philippines the peple that sold me my rims attached them on for me. Its' super cheap there, my 4 brand new 17" rims only cost me 300$! Canadian. There Auscar rims, but the sales lady said there Konig when sent to America. They have all the Rims we have here only for a third of the price, because of the exchange rate! And I brought them over with no problem or taxes to pay. The customs agent even complimented me when he saw them through the scanner. They look just like jason_wu rims only dark grey and minus the rivets.

the caps on my rims had a special shape to them. i don't think many places carry that type of cap. anyhow, if i see any kids on my block with those caps on their bikes i'm going to take the whole bike to a pawn shop and sell it for $50+. then i can buy a whole case of caps. hehehe!

Rep Power: 0 hey, i'll give them out for free to anybody that's been a victim of valve sleeve theft.
but then again, maybe not. if i take their bike i'd probably have a problem with their parents. then i might end up having to beat up some kids dad in front of his own kid and i wouldn't want to traumatize the poor kid like that.
