after checking several places including my dealer and a few tire shops, all of them mentioned that when factory installed TPMS are removed from factory wheels, they use rubber stems instead of metal ones. one dealer even told me the sport 19's and nismo's both come with rubber stems if you buy the wheels separately and so they use what is specified by nissan.

:ugh2:

am i being to anal about valve stems?

My wife spends money on cosmetics -- how much? I have no idea. It is likely less than I spend on lenses and car stuff (maybe).

However, when she is done with her potions, elixirs and voodoo application every morning, she pretty much looks like she did before she started. I commented on this phenomenon and she replied "That's the point".

Installed SPL rear camber and toe arms today after I took my front fascia to the body shop. Also assembled my power steering cooler kit and my AP Racing BBK came in today. Ready to get my car back. This is killing me.

The car equivalent to gobs of make up is a civic with an obnoxious body kit, stock wheels, an enormus wing and every paste on mesh vent available.

Probably. The local tire shop says the metal air valves can corrode and cause air leaks... Your car doesn't see bad weather enough to worry though. Flip a coin, heads = metal, tails = rubber.

Mr.kenchan, you are not being anal, I would love to have metal valve stems too.

Regarding Mr.GaleForce's info about the stems become rusty, depends how long after and what kind of metal does the stems made of... :icon17:
