Lost my Valve Caps - what are good replacements

[panzer948]

I feel like such a dummy. Yesterday I get the warning that my tire pressure is low so I pull into a gas station to put air in my tires. While there a nice lady pulls up beside me and says one of her tires is low. I can tell she doesn't have a clue on what to do so I offer to help her after putting the air in my tires. Well I must have got so wrapped up in helping this nice lady that I forgot to put my own valve stem covers back on (all 4)!

I didn't even realized I forgot till I looked at my car this morning. Wow..... I better not tell the wife this reason.

Anyway, I liked the OEM valve covers on the M but maybe I can use this as a reason to upgrade. Not sure how much I want to spend on them though (I mean they are just valve stem covers). Any suggestions on good set or should I just drive back to this gas station on my lunch break with the hopes of finding them

These look like a nice upgrade

If you want to just replace them with OEM looking grey plastic caps, just buy the Dorman 609-130 TPMS Grey Plastic Sealing Valve Cap from Amazon;

http://www.amazon.com/Dorman-609-130.../dp/B002P8EMGI

You get a pack of 50 for around $13.39, so you never have to fret about losing any ever again.

Since you have found yourself in the peculiar predicament of losing your valve caps, may I suggest an option that will increase your car's aerodynamic virility? The Aerocap. Made specifically for the racing heart in your heart. Take this losing moment and turn yourself into a winner!

Be careful, depending on where you live, metal ones can seize to the stem and then you'll need new stems. I have a friend who bought some metal ones with the bmw logo, and they got stuck, when twisted off with a wrench it took the stem with it, literally crumbled.

Duct tape might work.
