Valve Stem Caps for 214 Style Wheels ?

It's the winter salt that does it. A little bit of anti-seize on the valve stem thread and it's not a problem.

That said, I have heard you should not use metal caps with TPMS as it can interfere with the TPMS RF signal.

+1 on avoiding the metal caps with BMW logos. Snapped off a stem. Didn't use anti-seize but in the end was not worth the aggravation.

Thanks. Dang I wish I knew earlier. I bought those OEM Roundel ones which are actually a nice touch to the wheel so will just roll with those.

I just lost one of the "mushroom" covers and leave on a long driving trip on Sunday so are these still difficult to locate?

These are the ones that came with my 212 19" stock sport wheels. And they're still the best option because right now I have the metal caps with the BMW roundel and the metal fused so tightly on all 4 wheels I had to use pliers... even when using protection so it's not "metal on metal" it still scratched it because it's not exactly a high-strength steel. Not worth the $18 for a set. SHould go back to the plastic ones...
