I love my 2LT/RS. The way it drives, all the detail work on the car. But, for all they put in to it. They put black rubber valve stems on the best looking wheels i have seen in a long time. Why could'nt they put chrome ones on? What the heck?

the valve stems are part of the tpm sensor they had aluminum/chrome ones on other gm vehicles and it turned into a big problem when they started to corrode and you couldnt get the valve cores out and threads were stripping out,, now most all of the replacemants from gm parts are black rubber style

Just get some chrome ones off ebay. Make sure you put a lil vaseline on them so they dont "bond" to the stem over time. Keep moving them every now and then also.
