Having lost a few valve caps, I bought some anti-theft ones from Rick (with snazzy black stripes on them!!!). They look pretty good but obviously you are left with the ugly black plastic stem still.

Anyone found any stem covers which match the S alloys? I have found some but they do look a little 'bling'.......

you can get flush mounting valves, not sure how they work but they do get rid of the black valve completly. I saw them at an aloy wheel shop

These are the ones i have fitted, they are made by Mille Miglia. I got them from Carnoisseur.




www.millemiglia.co.uk

There are other dealers listed on the website so you can find the nearest stockist.

I got some chrome valve stems a while back to hide the nasty black plastic stems, but some **** stole my valve caps, so i took them off. I got my covers off eBay.

I'd go with the flush fit valve instead. Richbrook do them as well.



or maybe something like these instead, made by Race X.

How do you get those ones on? I assume removing the actual valve is a job for a tyre place?

The flush fit look nice - again, a tyre place install job?
