Best $ per smile upgrade... Yellow Car Tire Valve Stem Caps

[YellowR1T]

I can get 'proper yellow' ones designed if there's interest. We use a zinc alloy for our other ones, so they don't rust or bloom in damp or salty conditions.

Yes please

There is interest.

Kids always steal them. Even the plastic ones sometimes disappear especially In a camp ground.

I’d be interested

People please. They are yellow-ish. From 10 feet they are yellow. And … they are $5 for 12. So buy them and throw them away if you don’t like them. Or gold plate them. Even then still less than a month of Starbucks coffee and muffin.

Having done this in the past with other cars, I’ve had metal valve caps oxidize / rust and prevent me from taking them off when I needed to. So I’ve been getting plastic colored caps. My 2 cents…

This 100%!
If it is cheap aluminum like most of them on Amazon and your roads are salted in winter then these caps will literally fuse to the valve stems and you must cut them off.
I had them on my wife's car and it was a painful lesson learned for life.

Plastic caps ftw

Ok. Not good for offroading. But great on the school run. They may oxidize over time. But they are 40c each. They can be loosed with a wrench. And … here’s the thing … they are YELLOW.

Wrench will not work. You will only turn the whole valve stem with the cap fused to it.
I have tried on all 4 wheels. One wrench to the stem base one on the cap. Won't budge.

You must cut them off and get new valves.

I applied some loctite anti-seize before installing mine and I just tested removing them this winter and comes off easily!
