Black Valve Stem

[Rustyscrew]

Hey guys I just picked up a set of matte black TE’s. I’m looking for a way to switch the valve stems to black. Anybody done this before? Can I get new stems to work with my current tpms? Or do I need whole new set of tpms that already has black stems?

I just powder coated mine black not too long ago.

Did you have to disassemble the valve stem from the sensor itself?

Paint it black

Fyi … They also produce black tape weights for the wheels for the stealth/clean look. I wish the factory would have used these.

That’s great because it definitely is one of those things that stick out. I’ll be getting those. Where did you find those? Amazon?

~ most higher end wheel and tire companies typically stock the black tape weights … however the ones pictured can be found on eBay (many sellers).

I don't think I've seen non-black ones in some time.

Ha, are they? I dropped the car, as I do all new cars, straight for an alignment and balance off the lot.

I replaced mine with OEM Huf TPMS Replacment Valve (43MM) - Model: RDV026 ( got them from this listing here > https://www.ebay.com/itm/143530237592?epid=218048525&hash=item216b119e98:g:GQ4AAOSw4gVeC9kI)


Easy swap over to your existing TPMS sensor. Tire shop also had black wheel weights they put on free of charge.

Here it is Installed on my wheels (It comes with blank black caps, but I had black caps with the Toyota logo on it laying around)

Anodize.
