Hi All,
This may well be a stupid question however im going to ask it to make sure im not being daft.
I want to replace the old grey plastic valve caps with a set of porsche crest caps.....loads available from different places HOWEVER on ebay some of the standard plastic types show as TPMS specific. Is this really a thing? Do they have some sort of extra seal as stated in some ads?
Genuine ones https://www.design911.co.uk/p/decorativ ... =doofinder here show as TPMS so may go with these anyhow.
Would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks

A very valid point that I had not even considered! Perhaps i will stick with the drab grey ones

I had some silver ones on my 2003 Accord, they came as standard, they were soon all missing.

You guys must live in a ghetto! I have gloss black caps with Porsche crests from ebay, I think they were £10. They are still present after many months and I live within the M25 (West London). I did not buy anything specific, juts standard caps with crests, and they fit my Gen 1 sport classics with TPM sensors, they also fit my RS Spyder winter wheels.

This is a good point and I used copper grease to stop them sticking.

Good shout on the sticking , dab of grease on the thread and im sure all would be fine....to be fair I have never has a set of valve caps vanish even back in the bullet days
Agreed. I've had expensive valve caps in the past. Get stolen straight away. Never bother now.
I believe the tpms caps have the rubber o-ring in them to stop moisture damaging the sensors. Aluminium grease for aluminium, something to do with voltages of the metal and sacrificial anodes. Not 100% sure. I use a dob of clear grease or Vaseline
