 Chrome Valve Caps are Helpful on Black Rims!
If you are blessed (?) with black wheels as I am, put some chrome valve caps on the valve stems. It keeps your eyes from falling out while looking for black valve stems with black caps on a black wheel.

Maybe you need an appointment with an optometrist? Just a thought. But I do like the chrome valve caps idea.

I use red valve caps. Compliment the other hints of red on the F3T

Glad I'm not the only one with bad eyes.

Its pretty hard not to see the FOBO2 caps, even if they are black on a black wheel.

Years ago, I thought a set of nice caps that I thought would look cool on my wife's car. I bought them & put them on, but the car had sensors in the tires and the caps froze onto the stems to the point of breaking the threads off the sensors. Hopefully yours won't!

Reason: Caps & ' 's ;-)

Because of the way I park, I often need to find the valve by feel.
Thunder's just the noise. Lightning does the work.

I spray painted mine WHITE. It does make it easier, Especially the rear tire. Thanks

I got the slime blue barrel caps, not only easy to see but also easy to take off and it goes with my lug nuts and axle nut covers that I painted with Metallic blue fingernail polish.
(It has held up well for over a year so far on the axle nut covers so I did the lugs as well.)
