Is there Bullets in the car or is it a Bullitt Mustang? :confused:

Improved aerodynamics too.

Hey why not? But those caps may attract unwanted attention (theft).

You’ll shoot your eye out

As if ammo isn't expensive enough already.

Probably right...kids would love those on their bikes.

All fun and games until you are going so fast, centrifugal force causes the weight of the brass to bend the valve stem until it goes flying off!

I also wondered about that...when buying new tires, I purposely requested the shortest possible valve stems for just that reason. Actually tho, I decided to pass because of the theft factor.

I remember back when those simple chrome nut valve caps came out back in the 80s. You couldn't keep them on your car for two days without them being absconded.

I bet they'd get stolen in a month or less.

I heard that's why the old Fuchs had these supports.

I suspect it has to do with the angle of the valve stem, build of the wheel, speed of the vehicle, etc...
