Question for folks with black wheels
Do they make TPMS sensors with black valve stems?
What did you do with your valve stems if you were going for the blacked out look?
TIA

I painted mine with regular paint and one of them has flaked off. I just got through painting the calipers black and have extra paint. I will paint them with the caliper paint and it should stick better.

Clean them up with some brake cleaner and paint with ceramic caliper paint. Mine lasted 3 yrs before needing repainting.
I was able to remove them with out removing the wheels. I jacked up the car one side at a time and spun the wheel so the TPMS was at the top for all 4 wheels.
