Default Colored Valve Stems?

Is there another good brand other than Rays & Enkei that sells black aluminum valve stems?

I am looking for black valve stems and would like to know any alternatives to Rays because its about $100 at online shops, I did find some on ebay for 69$ shipped. Good-Win Racing is sold out of their Black Enkei valve stems.

These will be going on my RPF1's. I have blue ones now and I'm planning on replacing them with black when I change my tires next week. Maybe local shops you know of? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Why not just sand them down and paint them black? With them being so small, you could paint them with a foam brush and it wouldn't look bad.....

I would definitely just paint them black. Did this to an old set of Work blue valvestems on my old Emotions. It's such a small part, any imperfection is extremely hard to notice.

These won't leak if re-used right? Specifically rays.

My mechanic's trying to get every penny out of me, say's they might leak if re-used.
