Shock horror... My wheels are finally finished and ready to go on me motor.

Just wondering if anyone knows of somewhere that sell valve caps that are a bit different from the norm?

Halfords sell vauxhall ones, nice and shiney with the vauxhall logo on them, but there like £15 and some scrottum will only nick them.

What about the flush fit ones, they look good on wheels with only a few spokes.

Did think about flush fit ones, but not sure where to get them from.

**Scott G** · 12-05-2002 18:17

Halfords maybe,

Richbrook probably.

Demon Tweeks definately

Cheers mate.

there are some valve caps that have locks so they can't be nicked

if you don't go for flush find a set of them else they will go missing

go for the flush fit ones from Demon Tweeks, or i think Demon Tweeks also stock the 'lockable' ones too....

they simply lock on by using an allen key....

either are gonna deter the light fingered children from nicking them to put on their BMX's!!!

Oh yeah, the lockable ones are great! Especially when the wee scrotes come along with their bike spanner and use it on the nice chunky hex head on the valve cap. Cue one mangled thread from the grub screw...

**graham_may** · 13-05-2002 13:20

thats why i have left the standard boring Vauxhall black plastic ones on mine, no-one wants to nick them!!!lmao

**Mr_PandaPaws** · 13-05-2002 13:33

can you get lockable ones with vaux logo on??

**DaveB** · 13-05-2002 15:06

The caps dont bother me enough to spend money on replacing them, cos I know the day I do some ****er would steal them anyway

Oh, and the 'flush' fit ones have to be 'bolted' into the tyre, and cannot be put on by yourself unless you've got equipment to take tyres on/off the rim available.

Cheers everyone, Have spoken to my local Ripspeed specialist (aka jonnyg) who is on the case for me I think!

Best bet is, if you want to keep some fancy arsed caps, use some ordinary plastic ones for everyday use and put fancy ones on for shows and cruises etc. It only takes a minute to change em.
