    They all look the same to me. Porsche has some nice ones with no color and the crest embossed. Super nice finish. Why not an embossed S/F or Cavallino?

    I found a cool set at Ferrari of Denver a few years ago-yellow with the horse logo and also had a small "wrench" to tighten them enough to prevent casual theft. Only problem is that when they are tightened that much, they push on the valve core and let air out of the tires!!! Price was around $25.00 for the whole deal...

    Here are mine. Sorry about the bad quality of the pic. I believe they also come in red. The valve caps come with a tool to remove them. It makes it a little harder to steal. The set cost me under $30 and comes with 2 tools for removal.

    What makes them harder to steal if you have the little wrench? Is it just that you can tighten them to a point that will make it harder to take off?

    The valve caps keep on turning and will not come off without the tool. The tool holds them in such a way as to allow you to tighten or loosen them.

    A little too "precious" for me... Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    Not to mention they most get ripped off pretty often.
