Anyone find black valve stem covers for TPMS to match black wheels?
I am hoping someone has located some sort of black valve stem covers that will go over the TPMS sensors? Please chime in if you have found any.
I dropped my black wheels off at the powder coaters so I have a week or so to wait. Will be replacing the CarbonTech pads with Power Stop Z26s in the meanwhile.
BTW - The powder coater guy swears these wheels are powder coated already! But then he says oh, I see where the paint was over sprayed. It was just the worker guy not the main owner so I am hoping he is wrong.

You can purchase black sleeves/nuts that hold the TPMS on the rim on the interwebs.
I stumbled across some while searching for black valve stem caps awhile back.

Thanks - I see the nuts now available in black for $13 shipped. I'll try painting the stems after carefully masking them off.

I was on Amazon looking at Lloyd mats for the C7 and one of the suggested "go with" items were a set of 4 black valve stem caps for $14.99. So I bought them!!!

Use plastic valve stem caps anyone with old valve stems lying around will have tons of them.
The valve stems are all the same size if they were not you would need an adapter to air up your tires.
