    ZCP Wheel pics of Valve Stem

    Show me pics of your nice valve stems. Curious what options are available other than the standard black rubber. Anyone have BBS Chrome stems? Post links as well. Thanks!

    I have some chrome-like valve stem covers on my old BBS wheels. The actual valve stems underneath are regular black rubber, though.

      Either go with no caps (lowest rotational mass) or ///M logo caps. The latter are made with unobtanium and have certain aero advantages.

        Can you use tpms stems sans the sensors?
        I bought my car w/o factory wheels.
        Tire rack and competitors probably sell metal valve stems.

          I don't have ZCP wheels but I have the BBS valve stems and they're quality.

            Can you explain why the aftermarket ones go wonky from 100-150 at around 300-250?

              The principle of inverse cyclical resonance at the sympathetic frequency of the valve stem cap diameter. This considers the small (but significant) volume of gas in the valve stem itself, separate from the air in the tire. When the valve stem has a volume of (for example) 3 mL and a pressure of 50,000 Pa, and the pressure of the oxygen component is increased from 33 psi to 38 psi due to the temperature rise from 74 degrees F to 92 F, the volume of gas contained in the valve stem V2 will equal 77.84mL (0.0778L), exacerbating the cylindrical imbalance.

                  I donโ€™t have the metal valve stems, but have the BBS valve stem cover-caps.

                        decided to stick with rubber stems and just get the BBS cap

                            Yes, the cap is genuine BBS. The silver sleeve is separate and not by BBS. Yours appear to be a cap and sleeve together in one piece?

                              Nice ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
                              Yep mine are the aluminum cap and sleeve one piece. I like because theyโ€™re painted same silver color as BBS wheels.
                              Ah I see BBS website looks like these are showing NLA.
