Thorney - I had that problem with my last car. That had alluminium valves and valve caps. I was convinced it was the little b%^^tard next door who was nicking the caps and I even caught him crouching down by the wheel one evening. His Dad said that it wasn't him and didn't take kindly to me suggesting it was. One afternoon I replaced the caps and they were gone within an hour and I hadn't moved the car from my drive !!Problem you've got it little scrotes nicking them when you park up.
I looked at the little s%ds bike one day and he had a lovely set of shiny new caps identical to the ones I had on my car !! Strange thing is that once he moved I didn't loose a single cap in 6 months.
Jez -Thanks for posting but Marco is right, I did mean the valves that you use to inflate the tyres with not the wheel nuts.
Marco - Think your right. Don't really want to remove the wheels and tyres unless I have to. Might upset the balance etc. Also I have yet to find a reputable garage that can actually replace tyres without scratching the alloys. Something that would drive me over the edge when my car is only 2 weeks old.

Any thoughts on this ? Anyone done it ? Any pictures ?Also, anyone thought of putting white letters on the tyres ? Would it would improve the appearance or is it just a naff idea ?
