Cheap alloy ones tend to weld themselves on.

The reason for this is that the threaded section of valve stems tend to be either brass or stainless, neither of which are very compatible with aluminium.
Use of an anti seizing compound is highly recommended

Be careful with those. I had some and they 'welded' them selves to the tyre valves!

Isn't that to stop them getting stolen?

I've fitted some hp shiney steel truck ones to all our cars with no bother.

I managed to acquire some truck ones after a truck had new tyres in the yard and the fitter forgot the bag of caps, used them on the ZR, 2 rusted on, 2 got stolen.

I'm selling these, contact me through pmail for a discount.
