I might have to go with those. Are they Shiny??? <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

well i started out running the skulls but the shiny plastic crome keeps peeling off. so i switched to the 8 ball model. then everybody thought i was a drug dealer so i switched to these neat little lighted ones. they actually light up when you drive. but now i am concerned that the terroist snipers will be able to see me at night. so i think i will switch back to the factory o.e.m. units, i just need to decide if i am going to use toyota or chevy ones. any suggestions?

LOL..........I seroiusly use Fiber Optic rubber caps, I get them free from work. They slip over the threads and stay on. They also come in Yellow and Red. They are Fawking Great!!!! Disco allow to hook you up with a complete Red set this weekend. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

The Chevy ones are less expensive, and heavier. I'd go with those! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Hey we have some really big curbs in this area and don't even get me started on the speed bumps. Just because I Fully Get IT in the Mall parking lot is no reason to tease me. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> This one time, in the Mall parking lot, I .............. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Get the Toyota ones, they'll be more reliable. Just think about the horror of having a valve stem cap fail in the middle of nowhere <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

i would go with the shiny chrome looking ones. more aerodynamic = more speed. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Hawgs or skulls?

Whatever you do, MAKE SURE YOU DONT DRIVE ANYWHERE WITHOUT VALVE STEM CAPS!!!!!! It is more dangerous then I could ever tell you:flipoff2:

How about Kia Sportage valve stem caps?

Well, I guess I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I said that there wasn't a single useful wheeling part on a Sportage, guess you showed me! :D


BTW, my neighbor had HER (white) Sportage parked out on the street today. Got a good look at it, turns out you're even :rainbow:'r than I thought!:flipoff2:

I just hate it when my billet alum. valve caps get dirty... It's a pain to keep 'em polished! :barf: Btw, should I have rebalanced my dayton tripple gold 13" wheels when I put those caps on? :D :D :D

Dude...........get some Tireflys.........check out the link http://www.tireflys.com/

I was thinking of using some Chevy caps on my Toyota. Does Advance make an adapter for this?:confused:

Dan:smokin:

While at the sema show last week I saw these little neon type lights that screw on the valve stems....I thought of you DISCO when I saw these. they might even have some real world usage if your a night runner.

just wrap a ball of your "waxed twine" around the valve stem, that way if your throttle cable goes you'll have somthing at the ready to fix it. get it!

Dont know why you guys just dont do what I did....................
SUPERGLUE em...works just great and lasts a lifetime.
You should see the neighborhood kids try to get them off...its a real laugh:laughing: :laughing:

Last time I used those , my wheels were so out of balance I:barf: when I was cruisin the mall!:flipoff2:
