hogmaw Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I have gone through loads recently, it must be kids or something. Now my shiny new silver ones are gone. I'm worried in case the stupid kids are deflating my tyres as well. Anyway life must be good if that's all I have to worry about. Is there such thing as theft proof ones?

I did have plastic ones but the silver ones came with the new wheels - within a few days they were gone! And yes, I DO polish my exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Just buy black plastic ones. I've heard of people filing the metal ones so they're nice and sharp. While the thought of some theiving little scum bag having his fingers cut to ribbons is a nice thought, he'll probably key your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayixer Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Halfrauds sell the Richbrooks ones they are about £11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaiscossie Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 anti theft ones are ok but have had trouble in the past where if there done up to tight and if the toe rags try to get them off they can bugger your valves. i would just stick to plastic ones then put good ones on for shows etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 anti theft ones are ok but have had trouble in the past where if there done up to tight and if the toe rags try to get them off they can bugger your valves. i would just stick to plastic ones then put good ones on for shows etc Some actually come tooled up with pliers etc so end up damaging wheels or valves trying to pry them off. Weirdly i had some Mitsubishi ones on my FTO that didn't get touched (at least at home) for 2 years. The plain but metal ones off the Supra went in 2 weeks. Now only have one left. m.

Ian W Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 one of mine was broken the other day.... so i just went down to Halfrauds and bought some more. Five for £1.50 these were plastic of course, but does anyone else think that £1.50 for five pieces of plastic is still a bit excessive?

SuperSupra Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 It's funny you know, I've had shiny TRD valve caps for a good 6 months now and all are still there. I had plain silver ones before for a previous 6 months or so and the same. Never had any stolen before *spoken while touching a big piece of wood*. Guess it depends on the area you live in eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
