valve stem caps

[jlat]

hello peoples; Has any one put any thoughts about stem caps for your tires. This time around the tire shop put these used chrome caps on and I took them off to wipe them down and there not light. I had the grey stock ones witch got tossed and now to find them at a decent price is out of the question. I'm just going to go with the regular black ones. But how about race cars? Do you think Nascar and Top Fuel drag cars use them? How about a cap flying off a race car doing 200/300 MPH and landing in your beer. Do a google search there are alot out there.

Mine are slotted and cross-drilled. Helps with heat disapation and lightens the weight. I also had them ceramic coated grey to look stock. Not powder coated but ceramic. Thats important.

Go to dodge and buy a set from them. The new dodge ones are silver and look pretty close to the gn ones

go to the junk yard and grab them off the donut spares from 80's gm stuff. Make sure you pay them the $.50 that they are worth and don't just pocket them.

I see them from time to time but I have no need for them. Are they worth $100 each?

Tire shops never toss them. That's just their story. They hide them and then they want you to come buy them back from them. NASCAR uses Cadmium plated, type II, class II titanium caps.
