Angry Valve Stem Caps - Stolen

Today i take my car out of the garage, i take a look at my wheels and i see that all the valve stem caps got stolen. I have OZ Vela III rims and the caps were very nice, but i have no idea why someone would steal them. Im just glad nothing happened to my rims and my car wasnt keyed again. There is something very wrong with people these days.

Anyway does anyone know any site that sells caps for aftermarket wheels?? I bought some from Autozone but they dont look right for some reason. Im gonna call OZ wheels tomorrow and see if i can buy new ones from them.

This makes even more paranoid leaving my car somewhere.

Sorry to hear about your caps, When I live in an Apt. and had my Supra, kids in the neighborhood were always stealing my caps to put on their bikes. I just got tired of trying to have nice ones or you had to put them on super tight

Yeah, I had problem with that...until I got a set of these



http://www.spin-caps.com/pages/834900/index.htm

They basically have an exterior shell that spins freely...and you need a key in order to twist them off. It's pretty sweet...too bad they don't have a highly polished/chromed version yet though.
