Nice - but I've given up on fancy valve caps/stems. The caps ALWAYS get stolen or otherwise turn up "missing".
I've had it - so I'm back to plain black plastic caps.
Those are nice though.

Yep, I put those on once and they got stolen at a bowling alley, so no more valve caps for me. Nobody steals plain plastic ones, but those ones will get stolen within a week. Damn little crooks!!!

yea, when i first got my car (way back when) i spent $50 
on those pretty valvestem covers (the blinking lights ones) i was the only one in the city that had them, and i thought i was big ****. however, after 1.5 months, someone else was the only one who had them, because they were stolen in a Wal-Mart parking lot. 
those mother f***ers! ohh well. after i noticed (as pissed as i was) i went back into wal-mart and got some aluminum covers ($2.99). and they have worked just fine 
lol.. stupid kids

Blinking lights on valve stem covers?... that´s like having a big "help yourself" sign on them... kinda like the little blinking cupon dispensers in supermarkets. I´m surprised it took 1.5 months for them to get stolen.

but they sell those blinking light valve stem caps in wal-mart for $5 a pair with 3 sets of extra batteries. where did you pay $50 at?????? I put some on, and didn't even make it 300 feet down the road. One of them broke in half and part of it went flying down the street and batteries went everywhere when I was only going like 20 miles per hour.

i've seen those...they're bad ***. they'll probably last you like 3 days or so. Just screw them on when you're showing off your car, and leave the regurlar ones on there in the meantime so they don't get ripped off.

If they get stolen, they get stolen. I live in a spot which would make it pretty much impossible to steal my car, or anything on it, and when I am in town I take measures to make everything on my car safe - just in case.
On another note, I used to love my green blinking tire caps. When I first got them, I was the only one in town with them. Once I saw everyone following me, I ditched mine and got the ones I have now. Same went with those washel nozzle leds. I still like them, but everyone has them now after they seen me with them.

Anything nice here in southern california is stolen before you can even admire it.
