Default valve stem covers?

does anyone know where i can purchase a set of these?i'm not talking "caps",here;but rather the plastichrome or similar product that is "funnel-shaped",and screws onto the stem and covers the entire stem down to the rim. i've looked all over for these to no avail !will greatly appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. "cal custom" used to make these back in the day,and i think they'd sell really well if one of our inventive members or vendors would take care of business ! thanks

...try DISCOUNT TIRE...I've seen a display of chrome sleeves with a matching chrome valve cap on the front counter. I know the one piece design type you're talking about, but I haven't seen those around for awhile. I found them at PEPBOYS years ago. You might look at a JC WHITNEY catalog.

Someone is (or was) offering chrome plated valve stem nuts. I think it was West Coast Corvette if memory serves, but I could be wrong.
They are chromed version of the factory retainer nuts.
HTH,
Robert
