Corrosion on the valve stem.

I put them on my pickup truck for 6 months and they are stuck. They cost me $200 as I had to replace all 4 valve stems with tire pressure sensors. Careful, maybe never capturing would have helped. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • The list will be long.

DO NOT BUY! $450 Purchase Error

DO NOT BUY! These caps are fused to my valve stems. No penetrating oil or wrench could remove them. I had to cut them off and replace the valve stems. And there are TPM sensors on my valve stems. At over $110 each, buying them was a VERY expensive mistake.

Pros
  • Recommended
Cons
  • Nothing Here

Great valve stem caps

I have a Mercedes GL 350. Every time I leave the dealership I notice that the valve stem cap is missing which is annoying. I wanted a simple metal lid that doesn't stand out or is made out of cheap plastic. You are perfect. They don't have to be long or weird. Not bad for a normal European car.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • No automatic

Good luck with your move

Don't buy this. Aluminum (caps) and bronze (most valves) are reactive, especially in the presence of salt. Mine fused to the valve stem after less than 6 months of use due to oxidation. I had to use a dremmel to saw them off to add air to the tire. It was a mess and a huge pain in the ass.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Don't forget the anti-seize!

The product is just great. If you don't use anti-seize compound on the valve stem threads, they can get stuck there from contact corrosion; Mixing different metals does weird things, just basic chemistry and it's not this product's fault. They should be advising people to use non-stick coatings, so I'm deducting a star.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Poorly designed

Don't buy them.: Stem caps

I lost one of the plastic caps on the tire when checking the pressure. I was about to buy the plastic when I saw this one. Thinking they would be stronger I bought them. Nice, but three of the four were stuck to the valve stem and I couldn't remove them with pliers. I had to replace the stems. Now I'm concentrating on plastic.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Reliability

If the tire changer forgets to put the valve cap on :)

I've had 4 of these and this is the second time in a few years that I've forgotten to check a tire after a repair. This place fixed my tires for free, so I know they're the most common place for valve caps to be thrown on cars after work. I decided to buy 4 packs instead of asking this place to give me some new caps. These valve caps are exactly the same as the 3 I have left over so it all worked out great. They look stylish and hold up well. Just remember, when the tire changers fix your car…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Good but not great

Happy with these beautiful valve stem caps.

I was looking for something nicer than the gray plastic caps for my 19" Infiniti Q50 wheels and they are as elegant an answer to my search as the valve stem caps. I originally looked at caps with the Infiniti logo, but they seem to have trouble with the logo peeling off so i decided to keep it simple with an aluminum cap which looks good but most importantly provides durability.they look exactly like the picture.and i have one below attached couple of photos of my own (sorry for the dirty more…

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Alright
