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

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.
