Thanks.

 

You don't know what valve stems are or where they are on your rims/tires?

 

sorry but no i dont...im attempting to learn stuff though...

sorry if it was a dumba** question...

 

I see a keychain/tool and valve stem caps.

 

yes me too but what are the caps?

are one a set for on the rims?

what are the valves?

 

umm when u put air in ur tires.. u remove the caps.. to stick the compressor thingy to fill it up.. those are actually kinda spiffy..
Mitsubishi-Black Chrome ABS Snap Caps no idea wtf that is..

 

They're made of plastic and they snap onto the valve instead of screwing on. I have a set of chrome caps (the screw-on kind)...they look good except for when they're covered in road salt and brake dust

 

so the ABS snap ons go on the nut things that hold the tire to the car? sorry for the lack of terminology.

 

No, the ABS snaps would snap directly onto the valve stem, which is what you attach an air compressor to so you can fill the tire with air (check your pressure monthly). Lug Nuts are whats holding the rim to the car.

Don't apologize for the lack of terminology...you'll get the hang of it

 

Don't buy these. The Ralliart set I bought rusted and seized onto the valves. Couldn't get them off to add air to the wheel.

 

oh crap then. well does anyone know of any good places to buy accessories then?

 

What kind? There's tons of accessories. I was just mentioning one personal experience. I don't want you to avoid Amazon or something. I think the ones I got were eBay.

 

every website i visit all i find is all of this pricey stuff that i dont know what it does or means. haha. anything say, cosmetic? that wont kill my wallet. aka like those ABS and vale caps, granted i can spend more but i dont want to be buying stuff thats $250 US for one item


i still have to do xmas shopping too!

 

When we usally "accessorize" / mod a car, we do it for a couple reasons...wanna be different, performance/handling improvement, appearance imporvement, etc etc. What's your reason? We can give you hints as to what would be the best use of your money this way.

 

hmm, how about appearance improvement.
