I've never really been a big fan of them. I woulnt go and buy them to put on my car, I would rather buy something else for what they charge. But my mom's friend found some on a junked car he got on his job, then gave them to her as she gave them to me. They are little chrome skulls with red eyes. lol she knows I like that kinda stuff. I debating if I want to put them on my car or not.

So what do you guys and cool chix think about putting these kind of aftermarket tire valve caps on your car? Cool? or.. not so cool? and they dont nesessarly have to be skulls, dice, pink fluff ***** or whatever lol I dont know, what ever floats your boat.

 

unless they're nice hexagonal chrome caps i'm not too found of em so i voted no. and besides, little kids are always stealing those damn things

 

haha I say no also..and nikh thats hilarious because I used to have a fascination with them when I was like 12 and they would mysteriously end up off cars and in my pockets lol

 

I have some that are low key (billet with a red bow tie), which I like.

My brother put some on his car- polished aluminum- but they corroded and he couldn't take them off. I would suggest a little anti-sieze on the threads.
I like them, but only with polished metal valve-stems.

 

on 1 set of rims i have, they have the aluminum valve stems and hex shaped caps, then are pretty sharp looking. definately need the valve stems to pull it off. in the key parts catalog, a company has some like that, with a bunch of different logo's on the top, they have them for all cars, but there's a few different ones for chevy's/camaros and pontiacs/firebirds.

 

Ive had my chrome hex ones stolen 4 times from my NOVA..

 

you'd need a 10mm handy to steal mine.... they're on there damn tight. chrome hex on chrome valve stems on chrome rims = oh baby.

 

I had the chrome hex ones on my IROC but they got stolen when my car was int he trans shop. Oh well, I stole them when I was like 11 anyway. I just have normal plastic ones on the car now.

 

I had nice chome ones on my wheels with the Camaro emblem on them, but they got stolen when I was working at one of the local middle schools over the summer....

I would imagine there are 2 little kids on bikes with nice valve caps on somewhere.....

So I am now back to the stock black ones.

 

I had chrome dice on there. I thought they looked good at first but then felt they were tacky so i was kinda glad they got stolen. Kind of odd tho..they only stole 3..so i put the last one on my friends lil sisters bike, lol.

 

I have little Firebird valve covers on mine. They come with a wrench to tighten them so no-one can easily steal them. This is a picture before I changed the center caps.

As has been said in many other threads, what do YOU like! It's your car!

 

I honestly dont think 99% of people would ever notice although i find "skulls" in general to be tacky on cars...its always like oo what a tough guy he used skulls i dont know thats just the way it seems to me. Just whatever you do dont ge tthe stupid 2 fast 2 furious glow in the dark ones where at night the cap glows and you can see it going round and round man that looks like ***.

 

I like simple chrome valve caps the most.

 

I got a set about a year ago, I think I got them at yearone or something, anywho here is a site that has the same ones.

Those are the exact same ones that someone stole off my car

 

I never been too fond of flashy valve covers on my bird, bu t my buddy got his flashing ones stolen off his Neon after only a month of them being on. lol

 

Agreed.
