    BBS valve stem covers

    Well, some ass hole stole my sweet BBS valve stem covers the other day and I dont know where to get new ones. The reason I liked these ones so much is because they covered the whole rubber valve stem. I tried emailing tirerack, where I got the wheels, but they havent replied. Would anyone know where to pick some up at?

    Don't bother, they are just going to get ripped off again. My wife got me a set of the ///M logo ones, and I don't think I'm even going to put them on.

      Ever seen "The Jackal"? Spray that poison that seaps through your skin on them. That'll teach the bastards! Oh yeah, and don't forget to wear gloves when you want to take them off ;)

        They have lasted for more than a year though, so $20 to cover the big black stem in siver is no big deal. And if I put new ones on, I will torq the fuck out of them. Basically not getting them is not an option.

          how will you get them off if you need to add tire pressure?

          I'd just get some cheap chrome ones. can anyone see your valve stems when you're cruising down the highway? ;)

            Try calling another BBS distributor. I thought I lost my set but found it just the other day, they are very nice but mine are not for sale. Best of luck with the other distributors.

              Um, torquing your valve stem caps isn't the best idea. I would advise against it.

                  I have those ones with the lights on them.

                  They look SUPER cool when I drive REALLY fast.

                  I bombed Korea every night.

                    Use high temp Loctite... no one will ever steal them, unless they have a blow torch with them. Of course, you'll never be able to add air, but that's a different story....

                      Please people :? Obviously I'm not gonna torq them down so I can't get them off, but at the same time I'm not gonna make it easy for peopel to take them.

                      Forget I ever mentioned anything. I could have guessed this topic would have ended up like this. 7 post of pure nothing. Thanks anyways tobybmw.

                          That is why you need to go to Sac state.

                            Looks like we found the new R3V drama queen.

                            Relax man, they are valve stem caps. No matter how many times you replace them, they are goign to get ripped off, lost, etc...

                              You guys are right, I'll just put some cheap black ones on. I can't win.

                              It just pisses me off when my car gets fucked with thats all.
