There is a mod where you put a round cabnet pull in the back side
and then put your rims on the car. It is just the right size to keep
the spring loaded fingers from beingable to compress and keeps the
caps on until YOU remove them.
I got my OEM spinners from eBay for under $50 + S/H.
Another member posted his idea, in a similar manner. He cut PVC pipe to fit inside the clips of the spinner to keep them from compressing. The only way to remove the spinner was to access the backside with the wheel off the car.

My question is, What are they going to do with them after they steal them? There worth money, but are they evengoing to sell them? They probably just did to be a$$holes!

Yeah, that blows....I had looked into some new ones for mine...but they were just so easy to pull off...I chose to stick with the factory caps.

Where are you located? I have 3 spinners, one missing (STOLEN [:@]). I got new wheels so I have no need for them.

Everytime I went out to my car I would check them...I was REALLY paranoid about that. Somehow, in JERSEY of all places it never happened.

On my new rims I have very low profile caps, I doubt anyone would even consider trying it.

Sorry to hear about that.
