2 of 4...GONE - Damn 12 year old brats! If I catch them little bastards Im gonna throw them in the pool

 

On second thought, I hope they put them on real tight (mine werent on tight enough I guess And I hope they get them stuck on their bikes!

 

Damn!!!

I hate to hear that.

The spin-cap mechanism would be easy enough to override with the proper unlock tool or even a paper clip. I think of them as a deterrent rather then a failsafe mechanism.

Damn. Damn. Damn.

I just noticed the other day that crome valve stem caps are only a few bucks at Autozone. It's probalby worth it just to have those and replace as needed.

At least these kids don't drain the air out of the tires or otherwise vandalize the car.

 

shiats, I just got them, but they look good enough though, too flashy for the stock wheels kinda.

 

Very true

 

That's too bad

How's the exhaust holdin' up for ya?

Looking back in retrospect, I should have kept it. School scheduling conflicted with my plans to buy a bike so I started modding the CL-S again....arrrgh.

 

I love it

 

I think they may have FALLEN OFF, not been stolen.

I have them both on my car and my wife’s RAV4.
Last weekend when I washed the cars I went to check the air pressure and two of the 4 on my car were pretty loose.
They spun right off without the “key”.
I think it’s because there’s no gasket in there at the top.

They’re not quite the quality I expected, but for 13-bucks shipped for eight I guess I really can’t complain.
I cranked them on pretty hard this time and I’m gonna keep an eye on them.

Hmmm...Ill have to check the remaining 2

 

I would bet that with the right type of rubber coating and pliers you could get those spin caps off

 

My sets had a gasket, I have them on 3 cars, I got the colored ones though. I just checked my car & there all tight.

 

be careful with aftermarket valve caps - most of them are not the same type metal as the valve stem, and over time w/ a little H2O they'll corrode inside and if you put em' on too tight you WONT get them off w/o a saw or drimmel...solution for me was to spray a drop of WD40 inside before putting them on tight.

 

Good advice. The SpinCaps® recommend the same in their instructions -- actually, they recommend putting a tiny bleb of anti-seize lube on the threads before screwing them on.

 

SHIT….. I guess I should have read those.
I’m still kinda pissed that there’s no gaskets.

I've thought about going to the hardware store and buying some gaskets to put in -- but have not done that yet. I probably should do that or buy another set of cheap-o valve caps and do a gasket transplant.

I did try to trim a rubber band into little gaskets and it just looked silly.
