Default Locking Valve Caps

I bought my 200SX S14a a few weeks back and just found out I can't undo the valve caps! They appear to be some sort of locking ones but not the spanner type. Its basically metal, and on each side of it directly opposite each other are two small holes maybe 2-3mm big.

Don't suppose anyone knows how I can get it off without the key?

This is the offending little git!



Any ideas?

Are these not just tiny allen key bolts?? I'm sure they look the same as the RS Richbrook ones I have on the S2... who cares though, just fire on your 18" GTR Rims and blow them up!!


Cheers,
Grant

LOL Grant!

I will be getting the 34's on there, but these can be track wheels, so it would be nice to be able to get air in them! I tried a little allen key but didn't seen to do nowt, doesn't appear to be anything for it to slot into just the hole, it doesn't engage on anything

Oh right.... Ignore my suggestion then!!

Worst comes to the worst, I suppose new Valves wont be too expensive at a Local Tyre Place. Have you gone into one and asked some advice from the boys in there about how to get your caps off, they may be able to help??

Yeah, I think when the wheels come off I'll attack them with mole-grips, worst comes to the worst I'll just have to get a tyre place to put some new valves on!
