yeah when i drive around with my rotor shaped valve stem caps pedestrians fall over staring at my rotor shaped valve stem caps...people compliment me everywhere i go with my rotor shaped valve stem caps...everyone wishes they were as cool as me with rotor shaped valve stem caps.

 

I just tightened my rotor shaped valve stem caps with a pair of pliers....if some dirtbag decides to steal them, they will at least have to work for 'em

 

Use Loctite!

I chose to liquid nail mine in place...nobody is getting those bastards!!

 

If you use liquid nails, how will YOU be able to take them off to check air pressure/ add air?

 

exactly the point i was going to arise...

 

It appears people are unable to see the humor in Pimp Daddy's post...

 

email me. Roadrashot@peoplepc.coml

 

I'll sell mine for just the shipping cost if anyone wants them. Email me Roadrashot@peoplepc.com

Who the hell runs around looking for valve stem covers to steal off peoples cars?

I swear to god, that serves no purpose or function!

 

The reason why he says to not used the rotary stem caps is ridiculous...

the snap when you hit em on the curb??? YOU'RE TOO CLOSE TO THE CURB THEN!@#

i'd rather pop those off than scratch my rims and have to pay serious mula to get those replaced...

In fact.. I might just go order those now...

 

What the hell are you doing driving so damn close to the curb for? I know in California we can park up to 18 inches from the curb. But getting that close to the curb is wheel terror.

I love my Rotary Valve Stem Caps.

 

Well it's just a bad design. If your rim gets scratched it's not going to leave you stranded someplace. And that's exactly what will happen if you lose a valve stem like I think he is describing. Unless you shell out foor the spare tire kit.

As far as close to the curb, well yeah, you'd have to be real close but heh, it happens and it shouldn't leave you stuck somplace.

 

18" from the curb where I live put's you 3/4 in to the traffic lane - vs - 1/2 way in to it. You park as close the curb as possible here or you'll lose the whole car.

 

I had my caps stolen once. I found out who it was and broke both his legs.

He now knows to stay the f*** away from my car! >: (

 

hell yeah, its the smart man's curb feelers so i dont scratch up that 3,000 dollar set of 5zigens....

when i get to close to the curb the extended valve cap will take the hit and keep the wheel from getting scratched so i have to replace a 175 dollar valve stem instead of a 750 dollar wheel. good thing i have sense enough not to park within 4 inches of the curb

 

u broke both his legs??

if false:
why do u bother trying to impress us???

if true:
i don't know if you should be saying that on a public forum... lol

 

I've hit the curb one time while parallel parking. It scratched the rim a tiny bit since I barley nicked it.

I don't know why you guys can't understand why someone couldn't possibly ever hit the curb, and why this wouldn’t be a problem if you did hit the curb.

Thanks for the advice, while I don’t plan to hit a curb anytime soon, its good to know having those valve caps will leave me stranded if I do.

 

 

well chances are he didn't break anybody's legs over a 10 dollar set of valve caps and i think he was just trying to add flavour to his story by adding that embellishment, rather than just trying to "impress" us.

 

So if the front of the car hits a parking stop it's the front of the cars fault and not yours? The dude needs to take some responsibility for his own screwups and quit blaming others.

 

**** happens and if the **** happens because the valve stem is sticking out past the rim and tire where it shouldn't be due to an extended cap on the valve stem then that would be that ****'s fault... Remember HE didn't curb the rim and I doubt if he was considering the extended length of the valve stem when estimating his clearance while parking, but I'm sure you do that all the time... Every time somebody comes on this forum and post something informative that could be an issue to others you get 80% of the posts following it with wussy *** comments. Usually with something like "Why didn't you use the search" yadda yadda... Well while I'm ranting I'll answer the question of why people don't search on this forum. It's because there is so much bullshit posted on here, you have to dig threw the search results for hours to find an answer. If you don't have anything useful to say then don't say anything.

 

Dragon...your last post was great and I totally agree...I'm pretty new to the forum, so I'm looking for as much info as possible but you're right, I have to dig through all the crap to get to it...but there are plenty of people like yourself who are helpful and informative...so let's all cut out the bull and move onto something more important than insults

 

he's a noob himself he's only been here a month more than you
