Review on Bell Automotive 22 5 07260 8 Aluminum Sport by Anthony Gupta

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good for looks only.

If you're buying these just for the sporty look of the metal valve stem cap, they're as good a choice as any, especially if they're available in the color you want (product photo). Page shows multiple colors but Revain only has Silver available at this time). In terms of quality and functionality, I think there are better alternatives. Although it's not entirely apparent from the product description and photos, the caps I received were actually just standard plastic caps snapped into a nicer aluminum case. With the product in front of me this is very obvious but just from the description and photo on the product page this was not previously apparent so it is something to be aware of. I was kind of hoping for the best. As for looks, it's not a problem at all. They feel firm enough that the metal cap is unlikely to separate from the plastic inner cap unless subjected to unusually harsh handling, and of course regular plastic caps are great for keeping dust, dirt and moisture out and reduce the airflow a bit. Losses of various vehicles over decades. If you are looking for an all-metal cover that is more durable than plastic, looks good, and is reasonably priced, I would probably recommend Mr. Gasket 3663 Chrome Hex Valve Stem Cap as another alternative. The Mr Gasket product is all metal (including the threads) with a gasket to help them seal tighter and hopefully better prevent air leakage and they are chrome steel rather than aluminum coated plastic. Whichever caps you choose I would probably suggest buying a few sets of the same type as it seems like one or more will always go missing sooner or later so it's good to have a spare.
