Advertisement showed 2 different styles when I received mine I got 2 of the same style. On the other hand that could be useful if someone steals one because these Do Not lock nor are Anti Theft. This was completely False Advertisement! Not As Advertised!

Well I wouldn't exactly call these "locking" stem caps I will say that if you don't have a hex key to remove them then you are going to need some pliers cause once they are on they are will be extremely difficult to take off by hand. What the hex key basically does is tighten it further than a normal cap and with the rubber sealing ring it provides a more solid seal making it feel like it is locked to the stem. So unlike the "steelys" from back in the day they might be eye catching but you won't have to worry some kid is gonna come along and take them. As far as stem caps go I actually like them and since they send you two sets you are getting two for the price of one.

These "locking" tire valve stem caps I thought would be a nice addition to my new car. They fit your standard tire valve stem and are made of metal. The color is fun and relatively subtle on when actually installed. They say they are locking but there is no real "lock" to them. They are just smooth on the outside making gripping them difficult. They have an Allen wrench slot on the top to allow for "unlocking". Basically the wrench is used so allow grip and twisting where it might not be easy to do by hand.I did add a drop of 3-1 oil to the threads to ensure they would stay loose and would not corrode to the valve stem though I don't think that would happen. I thought better safe than sorry. Overall I like them and am happy with the look and quality of the caps. Would they stop someone for taking them.... I am not sure but the set comes with two sets of caps to I have extras!

These valve stem caps are very well made and look very nice but the description is very misleading. The description says the caps come with a special locking tool which is an ordinary Allen wrench. The caps do not lock to the valve stems. You hand tighten and then further tighten with the Allen Wrench to compress the inner o-ring which will provide a very tight hold but the caps do not lock on. You will not be able to remove by hand because of the tightness. That said these caps are a big improvement over standard valve stem caps!
