I was looking for some nice chunky valve dust caps for my Jimny, as I'm off-road almost daily, and look what I found!

If you use metal caps as I do put a smear of grease on the threads if they corrode on you are in trouble

Yuppers. I use anti-seize lubricant. Bi-metallic corrosion is almost like welding sometimes! I believe these are chromed brass and the valve shanks are brass, so it should all be OK, but better safe than sorry

Hello, you must be careful with the caps weight greater than the original
When the wheel turns, the centrifugal force expels tire inflation valve out, stopping return to the rest position.
This process results in the cyclic fatigue in the tire inflation valve can produce losses in the seal around the rim.
