Default stolen wheel air caps!

to my dismay after coming from seeing a movie i didn't notice that the small metallic caps that seal the air from the tires was missing until my air pressure warning light went off and then i checked to see if i had a hole but found that all four caps were missing! i don't know why someone told take them but does anyone know where i can get replacements?

also on another note when it was raining this weekend i noticed that the windshield wiper speeds above the first click was not working anyone else have this problem?

Get these, I have them, and you cant get them off, well the ordinary person can't get them off.

But then, if they cant get it off, they may just key your whole car.

I have the same. Work great! Kind of a pain to air up your tires but worth it imo.

Since this is the Infiniti Forum on my350z.com, these theft proof valve stem caps may be more of what you're looking for...

Yeah, someone ripped off my "Z" valve stem caps. I had the regular ones (not the theft proof ones) but they look exactly the same. Got them from Courtesy for around $12.00. Someone on 350Zfrenzy sent me new ones for free when I posted that my old ones were stolen. Good guy!

the indents on the intermittant wipers are just that, intermittant :/ give the the stalk a bunch of twists, I suspect it will clean off the contacts, it worked for me.

I had those on my Z (still have them as a memento after I sold the car) and they were fantastic.

People kept ripping off the chromies until I got those. No one vandalized the car. The people that took the stem caps were just opportunists that figured "hey... I'll take 'em if I can".
