chrome valve stem sleeve for our wheels
 
I noticed today how awful and out of place the valve stems look with our wheels. I already changed over to polished caps, but what have you guys done about the sleeves. I can't seem to find chrome or polished ones that fit correctly anywhere.

I've thought the very same thing as you and I have not decided what I am going to do yet. I have a 2013 Nismo so the color of my wheels are gun metal. However the stem color does not match the wheels so its out of place. What's even more out of place is that I have black Nismo valve caps. Caps look great, just not with the valve stems. I tried seeing if I could plasti dip the valve stems black but that didn't hold up as I tried removing the plasti dip. Would love to have them changed to better match my wheels and caps.

The valve stem is part of the TPS, so other than maybe painting them, you are stuck with them unless you buy some after market ones and ditch the sensors.

this is wat mine look like using the rubber stems that came with the nismo wheel for my base. i dont run tpms on my wheels.

the cap is an aluminum black RAY's cap. next time around im going to see if my tirestore can get me metal stems... but most often then not, unless you're tracking your car, sometimes better just to go with simple rubber stems if you dont need tpms.

Just get the sleeves then. I'm not sure what the problem is?

I don't believe the sleeves fit on the tpms valves steams.

nope, those sleeves wont fit. can't believe no one has made polished valve stem sleeves for TPMS sensors

When I removed my TPMS, I replaced 'em with RAYS AL valve stems. I got me a set of gunmetal colored ones (W3DVSG) for $80. :cool:
TPMS = :superghey:
