Valve caps look nice; hope they're not aluminum or metal.Went to go visit my car tonight at the storage facility. Haven't seen it for nearly 1 month now. Let it run for 15 minutes while dreaming about the day I might finally get to drive it. Installed my CupHolderHero inserts and tire valve caps. Just a couple of small additions while I wait to bring the car home.
I would assume that the metals would corrode and be difficult to remove from the valve stem. I believe they do sell some that are anti-rust or anti-corrosion.
How do you get into the Caddy? Passenger side? Or pull the civic out first?Cars got a little bit of sunshine today!
Thank you sir! I agree. Perfectly flush in the front, little poke in the back. Nice staggered setup.
Mine are ‘aluminium’ but have an O-ring at deepest part of cap. Why is this or metal so bad sir?
Because they will corrode to the valve stem. I had to replace a stem this year on my fiances winter wheels cause of this even though I remember putting anti-seize on the stupid things.
And it's funny how few you can find with the plastic threaded inserts! I imagine the higher end ones have them but I was looking to spend about $5-$10 when I purchased a set.
Aluminum will corrode/oxidize itself (and even bond itself) when in contact with a ferrous metal.
They’ll seize to the valve stem and you’ll end up having to replace the valve stem because of it.
