chilli Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I've had this loads, ended up with some tamper proof ones (comes with a little key) so they are not easy to take off. Ok so anyone can get the key, but if you have the key you've already paid for some, so it's less likely they are gonna steal them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaisar Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 where do you get them from? its usually opportunistic kids that do this so not likely they will have keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 halfrauds sell them, in a nice chromish finish which look quite smart, just a shame you can't have nice caps with logos etc for fear of them being stolen these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike M Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Had that the other month there with a set of anodised caps on the V-dub. I used to nip them up but then thought if they try hard enough they'll just rip the valve and i might be left stranded. Check out their bikes, i'm sure one will be sporting a newly aquired bit of bling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooper-supra Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I hate this happened to me before but you should get flush valves maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 B@stards!! I've had 5 sets nicked. Cought one kid and interrogated him Bought some TRD spinners (You can't get them off without a little key) from e-bay and no problems so far.

Guest Garfy Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Be carefull with the tamper prof ones guys, I had some you put on with a spanner type key, and the kids still nicked them but one of the caps was on so tight that the metal valve unscrewed from the wheel letting all the air out, and to top it all of the last garage to take one of my wheels of didn't return the locking wheel key, That was a fun day, I honestly think if I had found out who did it then I would have caused them serious harm.

mikeyb10supra Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 The answer is - use plastic ones ! plastic ones are double points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qaisar Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 yeah as Bobbeh says its not the cost or anything as they are only valve caps, its just so annoying! anyway think i might just keep some plastic ones for when the car is on the drive from now on as dont want the little shits damaging anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
