Great, except...
by Reid Fleming (4 out of 5 stars)
April 14, 2019

Exteriors are heavily coated, very smooth and glossy, and overall the caps feel light and strong. Looks and feels like a quality item. I've always preferred to pay a little more at the beginning and get something well-made that will usually save me money and stress in the long run.

I was a little disappointed, though, to see that the internal threads seem to have no coating or lubrication of any kind except for the actual paint, which in the cap interior is just sprayed on instead of being anodized or baked on as far as I could see (they did have a rubber layer at the very top of the cap interior, however).

This lack of an internal coating or preparation on the threads is something I associate with cheap brands that can lock onto the threads and ruin your valve stems. I hit the threads with some graphite lubricant and the caps were good to go.

I really like these. So do others, apparently.

There is no reason to make this review long and ultra detailed. These are valve cover caps. They can either be good or bad. These are good. They stay in place and they look extremely nice. It's a nice, clean, modern touch. Factory caps are so boring. So boring, it seems, that people keep stealing them off of my car. For the moment, I find it funny. But when I keep having to shell out money for more, I'll probably be less passive about the situation.

But I think that constant theft of the item shows that they really look slick. I've only had one other set of caps stolen before. Once. Now it is constant. I choose to see that as a good mark in the looks department. And I'll keep buying them.

Has o-ring
by R. SAFRENO,Top Contributor: Pets (5 out of 5 stars)

This review is for the quality and engineering of the item, not if the bag got shorted by the computerized machine that loads the small aluminum valve caps into the small plastic bag. I feel for the person that was shorted but it's not life changing and doesn't need to be here. There is a place for that in packaging and shipping.
At first glance I'd swear these were going to be too small for automotive use. They fit perfectly. Yes they are short but for a purpose. My experience in the past had a long or normal length cap (with O-ring) that seemed to fit. After a month I checked the air pressure. I found a little moisture in the cap and on the valve stem. Evidently the cap.bottomed out and the O-rind didn't seat against the top of the valve stem and allowed moisture to enter. Luckily I live 300 miles inland from the coast or else I could possibly get a bit of corrosion to form. Not good for a tire valve anywhere. This cap is short, allows full seating of the O-ring but does leave exposed a few lines of threads. If corrosion is a problem for you then perhaps look elsewhere. Although a quick hit of a silicone lubricant or WD40 after its threaded would possibly work. These are NOT. Cheap plastic caps but machined aluminum caps with O-rings. They seem to work a-ok.

!!Corrosion!! These are now SEIZED on my valve stem
by franciswashere (1 out of 5 stars)
January 27, 2019

Did not even think about this when I ordered them and put them on...but these are now seized onto my valve stems. Its -25 degrees and my TPMS came on and I can not get any of the 4 off. I tried to heat and use pliers to get 1 off and now the stem is ruined and leaking. I now have to buy a new TPMS for $$$$....do they look nice? Yes. But the $5 cost will now turn into a several hundred $ fix to take care of all 4 tires. Galvanic corrosion will occur with any 2 dissimilar metals, so ANY aluminum caps will have the same effect. Stick to plastic. Lesson learned, wallet empty.

Great quality, solidly built
by CIvilGuy (5 out of 5 stars)

Great quality, solidly built! ONLY complain I have is the price! I have been looking for these caps for a long time, and finally, decide to go with the circuit Performance ones because others just simply not good. I found either too cheap ones, or these "too expansive" ones. If somehow they can lower the price, I am sure the sale will be drastically increased. (less profit but more sales, still gonna be the same profit for the sellers, but it will be greatly appreciated by the larger group of buyers)

Awful

I've had these for about half a year and they already turned completely discolored to a copper looking color and they are seized onto the valve stems.

These are good quality caps
by Isaiah Underhill (2 out of 5 stars)

I rate these low because of an issue i did not foresee. These aluminum caps corrode over time, which I unfortunately and ignorantly did not see. I had to have a tire shop removed the cap when my tire got low on air. These are good quality caps, which is my 2 star rating, but any type like these cannot avoid the corrosion.

Hm... Their ok.

The red rubber pieces inside fall out, I actually lost a whole cap because I dropped it when looking for the red rubber piece.

I suggest gluing the red pieces in before installing.

Corroded to the valve stem
by Go Blue (1 out of 5 stars)

Wish I could give them a zero. Only on a few months and one Michigan winter. Corroded to the valve stem and had to have the stem replaced. So if they don't get exposed to water, dirt or salt you will be fine. Good thing they are on the wheels and free from any of those things.
