I always enjoy seeing what people find to use for valve stem caps. I have some custom hand made Schlitz beer can caps, ha...dont mind the dirty wheels, I haven't cleaned them in weeks.

Don't know, I bought them from someone with smaller hands and a lot more patience than I.

Basically you just need an end mill bit and bottom tap that are the right size. Then you can make just about anything into a valve stem cap.

It's not hard at all to make custom caps, but is a nice little detail touch that most people overlook.

Its not impossible, replica wheel shaped valve caps on your wheels would be kinda cool, ha.

Lol, those beer caps are funny.
Tbh, I'm not really a fan of custom valve stem caps. Have not yet seen a set that makes me want a set of custom ones. I prefer some ordinary metal stems and caps, I prefer the simple look.

I've been subscribing to too many Kustom rat/hot rod rags the last few years, they have some pretty cool styles I have been thinking about a lot lately, ha.

I would be afraid of getting a custom set snatched.

Thats why they make locking ones too, and at $20 or less, it's not a bad loss.

the schlitz can ones are rad.
I have the original SSR ones for my wheels, but I'm always to worried about someone nabbing them.
