    Anyone ever bought the valve stem caps w/ the Pontiac arrowhead on them. I got some from Advance Auto.

    GOD they look stupid on my car, I have no pics, but I would be wasting time takin pics of them. They look like metal, and I thought they were because they're 12 F'n dollars, but nope, they're plastic.

    Just wondering if anyone else has them, or any other type of valve stem caps different from the black plastic ones. I have the silver ones that came with my GTX wheels.

    mine have the crome caps that match the stems, but if you have anything flashy on there, they're likely to be stolen

    Nope, just always ran regular chrome ones with a good o-ring/seal in them.

    If they get stolen, no big deal. I have a huge freaking box full of like 2,000 different sets of metal or cool looking plastic valve stem caps. (I used to manage a bicycle shop)

    I just have the Chrome ones Discount Tire offers with matching stems. Anytime I have had really nice or expensive ones they were stolen.

    I have black caps to match my clack stems (I refuse to use the covers for the stems to make chrome ones look right, and don't like the look of the real chrome stems)

    They would look good on some wheels, but my wheels are "hyper-black" so they don't really match too good. The caps are "chrome" very shiny.

    I have pontiac valve caps, mine are locking ones. I have had them since I bought the car. I have had no problems with them, and since they are locking ones they aren't going anywhere. IMO they look really good on the chrome 5 stars. I can't find the ones that I bought, but the clubgp store has a set with a keychain. They look similar, but they don't lock from what I can tell. Good luck on your search.

    I have a set from Advance, the ones with the red logo....I am looking for some of the black ones to match my car. But I am not paying 29.95 plus shipping for a set of them. I have a few sets of chrome ones in my tool box.

    I have a set of the black caps with the crossflags on them to match my fender emblems. I dont like chrome, so black was perfect. Got them on eBay for $5 shipped
