O.k. In less than 24 hours I lost one Chrome valve stem cap of my new set of Rims. Based on previous experience- i used to have Blue ones on my stock tires, and those disappeared in about 2 weeks- I know these will be gone soon to!

How can I prevent this? Can i use a small socket and tighten the hell out of them?

Maybe some locktight?

Spin Caps or somehow link up an electrial charge to the caps so the people get shocked when they try to take them off.

You know, if you\'re not going to provide helpful advice, you should just plain clam up, methodyst. :sarc

Get the Spin Caps or a Trunk Monkey. The latter is a little more expensive, but provides all-around protection.

Patrick, do you even keep up with the latest automotive gadgets? Do you even know what a Trunk Monkey is? Obviously not. It\'s one of the more innovative whole-car protection devices developed by the Suburban Auto Group.
