Silver valve stem cover?

Has anyone come up with some type of black valve stem cover to go over the silver ones on our black wheels? I’ve found black caps, but not any type of cover.

If searching, use the term black valve stem sleeves.

So I’ll share what I know about these TPMS sensors. For my second set of wheels I wanted something more flexible. So I opted for these and they are dual frequency and also come with dual valve stems. At the time I didn’t see the option for anything except a full rubber snap-in style stem or the silver screw in stem. It wasn’t a deal breaker but I too would’ve liked the option for black screw in stems.

Since you brought this up I did search again and found black covers but I’m not sure how well these will work with the variety of TPMS stem sizes If that’s a thing). If they are manufactured to a universal specification they might work. Who knows?

I found those same Wheelmate ones on Amazon, but didn’t see any reviews that referenced them fitting Camaro TPMS. Several people returned them because they were too long and you couldn’t add air to the tires.

Makes sense. That’s the direction my comment was intended because of the stem size variance. I’ll keep looking and maybe find something that is solid confirmation.

I use the silver metal valve stem caps that O’Reillys has in stock and no problems as of now.

But we are trying to find them in black. Stem covers and caps. The caps are plentiful in black, but not the stem covers.

Apex racing offers black TPMS nuts as an option if buying the sensors from them. They have to be available from other places.
