Default Anti-Theft Valve Stem Caps

I had these on my Mach 1 and thought they really added to the look of the rims.

Thought I'd pass this info along as I have not seen anything like it posted here.

I will be ordering a set for my '08. But am undecided on black or blue.

I'd be careful; the valve stem cap on Corvette's is an integral part of the TPMS. Some have found it interferes with the transmission of tire pressure data to the BCM.

Also beware the o rings often get trapped in the valve stem.At best do not let you put air in,at worst cause all air to leak out.

I never had any issues with the ones I previously owned. But, yeah, it was a Corvette either.

If the Corvette takes a stardard valve cap, then these would work fine IMO. I'm planning on ordering a set soon. As soon as my '08 gets here and I decide either back or blue.

I'll post my fitment findings.
