Valve stem caps.

Can anyone suggest a place that sells decorative valve stem caps that possibly lock. I live in NYC and mine get stolen way too often. Sorry for the simple post.

I've never heard of locking ones, but Rob (TNAA) in the forum mall has aluminum logo ones for the lowest price I've found, and provides great service. Otherwise, any auto parts store or tire place has various chrome ones. If you get them stolen often, try using a hex head cap and tighten it another quarter turn past finger-tight with a small wrench.

Like Sam, I don't know of "lockers", but Pep Boys and most other auto stores sell some nice caps. I bought some very nice SS, sealing caps for $5. Good luck.

I am in NY as well and I do just that "tighten" down with socket set. Since then I have not lost one.

Most of the kids which take these do not carry wrenches with them.
