| i think you should take them off now before they corrode on unless there is a plastic cap under it.. never use metal valve caps on tpms sensors. dissimilar metals corrode and fuse together.
i deal with that problem on a daily basis with my customers who try to put chrome caps on their tpms sensors.... cool idea but it will cause you problems. _________________  2006 black /SRT//8/12.521 @ 112.263 MPH (corrected time) 2nd place SRT8 shootout Great Lakes Dragway 2008 / 2nd place Maywood Park AutoX 2009http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjQeby5cB1Q / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0So5e-GGXM |

| i bought a set of plastic caps for that reason. If the shells take a beating I have more to change them out. I also do not have tpms on my maggie. |

| you should still use the plastic caps in the shell or at least use a rubber seal on the underside because the cores on the stems can leak, and unless you have something to create an air tight seal, you can lose the air from the tires faster... |
