Well in a less dickish way than Buddah put it.

Those little grub screws act as a fastener against the valve, because retards who steal valve caps usually dont come prepared with a set of allen keys in their pockets.
You literally just screw the valve cap on to the valve, then put in the little grub screw and tighten it hard enough on to the valve so that the cap cannot be undone by hand, hence preventing theft.

I just use similar to these and do them up with a socket which I keep in the console.
Stuff messing around with an allen key.

I literally just bought these. Can't find a genuine Subaru keyring that stays in one piece so why not combine the two.

I have the same but STi instead. The plastic goes goldy/yellow and the stickers fall off easily...

I can't find any sellers with this now with a quick look but this is what I have been running for 1.5 yearsImage
When I get my proper rims I'll switch to hexagon black ones, but for now these have done me well.
