Tire Valve Caps

Dam BMX racers are stealing the metal tire valve caps from my 18" Wheels. The dealer wants $3.50@. Can I expect this to be an on going problem?

I had really nice hex chrome caps stolen off my other car/rims too. I just went to Cdn tire and got a pack of 4 metal ones for $1.99 so no big deal...better they steal those than the whole rim!

Re: Tire Valve Caps

Yeah, that's what I did. It's not a big deal but I don't like them as much as the originals.
Now when I see young kids checking out my car I think maybe they're thinking about the valve caps;^(
I wonder if you can buy these things in bulk. They can't really cost much?

Another option is locking logo caps

Any where else where you can buy anti theft valve caps? Strictly Z shut down.

I caught a guy once at a Walmart parking lot. He took off running so a foot chase began. Got him about 2 blocks later and begged me not to call the cops. Gave him a break but kicked and bent his wheels pretty bad.

I was furious at the time and felt bad afterwards.
