I kinda thought so too, but my parents bought them for me. I guess I will just put them on when I go down to visit them. Not really my type of thing.

Don't put them on to tight, and hope they fall off.

Hmm... dont use them as valve caps. Find another use.

They would bad *** paper wieghts or something.

Or save them in case you ever get a truck. In a truck,IMO, they would fit better and wouldnt be as tacky.

Hey it's the thought that counts.

Just don't suddenly "lose" one, or they may feel bad and get you another set. Then you'd have to "lose" four more of them.

I think the those valve stems look tacky too, unless you had a skull theme through out your car.
