How would you steal the valve stems? You have to take them off from inside the wheel.

Mugen Mike, who is confused.

Yeah a friend of mine back in high school used to steal those polished caps off of cars and put them on his BMX bike. It's to bad they too, were stolen from him one day at school. (Haha, Karma! Good thing there's no honor amongst thieves)

Anyways he stopped stealing them after that, seeing has how he could never hold on to the caps he stole.

So the moral of the story is, don't bother putting those fancy caps on, as someone will probably take them. You might as well take them off and keep them at home or something and then put them on when you need them. (Like a car show or photo shoot or something...)

I don't roll valve stem caps because it adds waaaaaaay too much unsprung weight to my highly tuned (cough cough stock cough cough) suspension and throws it all out of wack.
