They weigh almost nothing, & make checkin' pressure a lot easier. Almost three years, & no problems. I highly recommend 'em.

That's what I was talking about in a previous post. They're ok but each time you screw them on and off, you'll lose air. You know that they don't stay on the wheel, right?

Me too! I ordered a set and they arrived in a few days. Paid with PayPal. I have not installed them but they look like a quality product.

I love these things. Super quality and problem solved. What's $32 for something functional in light of what we all spend for cosmetic stuff?

The perfect solution for my 09 with stock rims. I have the black ones so they disappear. The tires should have come from the factory with this setup.

Haven't tried them yet but I asked the seller about that. He sent me a message that said they were meant to be kept on all the time as that's why they're sold per pair. I'll know come spring....

anyone use these with dyna beads, I like the look but wonder how hard it would be to install dyna beads compared to a straight valve stem

What an awesome product! I installed them about a year ago. Super easy checking pressures now. I've got a 08 SG, Vivid Black as you can see. Black looks great. I highly recommend them. Jrsess

If you leave them on permanently, you'll have to re-balance the wheel cause they add weight on one side. Also, make sure they clear the brake calipers.
