WTB: Gray tire valve stem caps

I am looking to see if anyone has any gray valve stem caps that came on most late 3rd Gens from the factory. Haven't had a chance to check out the yards so lets see if anyone else has...

Here's the style.


Thanks
Mark

I had no idea the originals were gray. I've worked at a couple tire shops and remember seeing them a lot, but haven't noticed any recently. I'll keep an eye out

Re: WTB: Gray tire valve stem caps

Well, I checked with my supplier... good news. He can get the gray valve caps, he just doesn't stock them because nobody ever wants them. I told him to order a box of them because they are only $4 for 100 of them. It will be a couple weeks before they are in though.

Re: WTB: Gray tire valve stem caps

Clean forgot about these. I was disappointed when they came in, I'm not sure they will be of much use. Rather than being a light gray color with fine ribs, they are more of a silver with large ribs.

Re: WTB: Gray tire valve stem caps

Here you go. It's not quite on a GTA wheel and it's not a rubber valve stem, but you get the idea.

Interesting. I didn't think I would have a use for these when I got them, but when I put one on the wheel with the bolt-in stem (pictured), I changed my mind.
