they had way cooler ones where i use to work, black with a red bowtie in the center, and those. 30$ is a little pricey though if you ask me. i was so tempted to yank them off the shelfs but i'm not into stealing so i didn't....even though i'm sure they will just get stolen from you.

want to meet up so you can try stealing them? they are a little pricey because they are theft deterant(sp?) the ones you are talking about were probably around $15 and dont have the locks, right?
and the bowtie ones are for any chevy, these are made for camaros, so i didnt mind paying a little more

i still prefer the black with the red bowtie, but i never heard anything or knew of them being theft deterrent figured they were just screw on valve stem caps. how exactly do they lock?

as for how they lock, there are 2 parts, inside and out side. they dont come apart(that i know of, and i did try) but the 2 parts just spin on eachother and the "key" locks onto the inner one so you can remove it.

I also have locking valve stem caps, black with a silver bird. Probably one of the best 30 dollars I’ve spent considering I know they won't get stolen, and if you are woundering if they really work, I have had them for 2 years and i am the only one that has ever taken them off lol.

Here's mine... I also found the camaro ones, but I was kinda split on which I should get... I ended up getting the blue chevy bowtie ones due to my Mystic Teal color.



My calipers are painted blue now and I have the chrome center caps on my car.
