Any tire pressure sensors available w/chrome valve stems
I just ordered a set of chrome Z06 wheels for my 2003 coupe, and I wanted to retain the tire pressure sensors from my stock painted five spoke wheels, but it seems to me that the painted or dull silver finish of my exisiting tire pressure sensor valve stem would look like crap on a new chrome wheel. Are there tire pressure sensors available with chrome valve stems for chrome wheels? What is everyone doing that is running tire pressure sensors in any style of chrome wheel?
I asked one of the parts suppliers if the pressure sensors were available with a chrome stem, and was told ... 'no, not available with chrome, just one style'.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

You can't get the chrome valve stem nuts from GM, but West Coast Corvettes sells them. I bought a set when I purchased my new wheels and sensors last February and they look great. Give WCC a call.

I have chromed OEM Speedline C5 wheels and the stock silver stemmed sensors. They look great and I can't tell they are not chrome unless I specifically look closely at them.

Thanks for your inputs everyone. I'll give West Coast Corvette a call...just saw the chrome valve stem nuts in their catalog. That should look better than the dull stock stem nuts.
