Tire stem caps?

Someone bag one of mine also. I went to the local dealer. Alan told me that Ferrari told the manufactor of the dust covers to stop making them. All the dealers were told to stop selling them. Alan give me his last one. He did suggest to look for them a high end auto parts stores.

I am still looking with no luck in Southern California.

 

LOL (sorry, its not funny) but that's one considerate thief! He stole your chrome caps, but was generous enough to leave you with some genertic ones?


Ebay has the prancing horse chrome ones all day long.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7946891698&category=33747&sspagename=WDVW

 

I saw few local f-chatters bought this item at FofDallas last spring or summer. They don't sell them, anymore?? (per Bart) That's strange strategy by dealers, ins't it?

I'm missing them, too, so I was thinking to go to the dealer when I have time & go that direction.

Hope someone will post the source to buy.

 

Try Griot's Garage.

 

The quality of these look pretty good. The ones I got from a dealer were machined slightly differently (octogonal, vertical grooves), but the quality of the pictures are the same. I say go for these. At $10 a pop, it's probably the cheapest Ferrari part you can buy. -

 

i think I've seen them here with a special little tool that is needed to remove them, other wise they just spin around in the thief's fingers.

 

There's different ones I've seen on ebay, these are just the ones that came up when I seached "ferrari+valve+stem+caps"

 

Look up www.hgparts.com
Heiko there has lovely yellow chrome caps and rel inexpensive.Believe it was $20/set a yr ago.
They are a chat sponsor.

 

I think you mean www.hgparts.net

 

Funny, one of mine were stolen as well. I guess the person who did it just wanted a piece of the Ferrari mystique.

I bought a set of those. They're great. Unless you have the tool to insert into the side, the cap just spins around and around. The little tool fits right on my key ring so I know where it is and won't lose it. I don't see any on e-bay right now but I'd keep an eye out for this type if you can. Won't have to worry about them stealing them anymore.

 

always some on ebay uk

 

with original-looking caps if you are concoursing your car. That's one of the first things that some judges look for when considering point deductions. Could make the difference when splitting hairs for awards.

Correct, most judges consider them to be BLING.

 

I had a set on my gt4. I could not wait to get rid of them. When I got a set of 16' wheels, off went the caps.

 

I think nice plain alu ones look best, and you get them for free with new tires. Logos enough already on these cars! But here are the octogonal ones:

They had them, but "Due to manufacturers' requests, the following logos are no longer available: Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Hummer, H2, Lexus, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Toyota, and Volkswagen."
