waste of 10 quid for me. bought sum after sum little pikey scum broke the pins on 2 of my valves while me car was parked in a sports centre a fortnight ago. £10 from motorworld, richbrook ones. put em on today and my little sisters could even unscrew them when locked on. the screw thread for the locking bolt isnt very efferctive as the tool use to scew it up with is naff, only screws half the way then spins.

My valves have black plastic caps. No-one steals them.

I used to have BBS valve caps, with a little BBS logo and they're slightly longer to fit snug right up to the wheel over the rubber. Looked good for a few weeks

Then the problem isn't the valve caps, is the area you live.
If fitting locking valve caps hasn't worked then you're fucked

Until you realised they were infact, gayer than the Prince of Wales?

Mum left her car on the road for 2 days and some fucker had off with her locking valve caps. She was fuming until i noticed someone had tried having off with my alloys She now wants to move house
I've got some Ford locking nuts on mine. Been on a few weeks. They have a screw on them that allows you to unlock the caps. The ones mum had where the pin locking type. Have to see how long they last
