Hey there,

Got kind of a silly question. I have the factory chrome wheels on the truck and have the chrome valve stems and caps as well. The problem is that I think kids are stealing the caps all the time. I would like to get the locking kind of chrome cap, and have seen them with logos as well, and thought little H2 or Hummer logos would be cool. Have searched around the net to no avail. So if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

Kevin

I just got a set of 16.5" MT classic wheels for my mud tires and while at the tire shop I had them mount 3/4" long steel valve stems.
Figured short means less chance of breakage offroad and they have steel caps that could be tightened w/ wrench.
It doesn't help if the have a wrench or pliers.
They could also cut off the rubber valve stems if u put a locking cap on it, major PIA.

I suggest a 12ga shotgun loaded with rock salt.

Of course, connecting an electric fence power supply to your truck would be a deterrent as well. Fun to watch, too!

A large charged capaciter has a great effect too.
It will keep coons out of metal garbage cans.

Have not seen any locking, have seen logo stem caps on Ebay...but some bullet valve stem caps should send the proper message.

Can you shoot me a link to them or if he has his own site. I searched ebay and only found regular chrome caps, not locking ones.

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks NVR,

I saw those before, and they are nice, but they are not logo caps.

I put a nice burr on my caps with a file and found blood 2 times on my wheels.
