Where can I get the gray/silver valve stem caps?

I'm "misplaced" one of the original valve stem caps on my Ridge. It's either silver or gray, but where can you get some replacements? I've got an ugly black one on there now. It just ruins the appearance of my Ridgeline.

Sure, just wander around the new Ridgelines in the lot and while bending down to inspect the tires......

You need to upgrade..........This is what I use... They are aluminum with plastic inserts, no issues.... You can pick them up at most auto parts stores....

If you can't find any around by you then PM me. I have mine that I took off the very first day (I just have to find where I put them)...

Thanks X !! I had no idea that TPMS sensor-stem safe aluminum caps existed. Napa, here I come!

You’re welcome.... There a many styles out there that have plastic inserts. These are my favorite...

I don’t know if Napa has them, but I do know AutoZone, pep boys and advance auto do.... They also come in anodized colors of blue and red...

Sure, I'll send you a PM. Thanks.

On a side issue, what's the deal with the "plastic inserts" in the caps? Is there some issue about the type of valve stem cap required to accommodate the TPMS? Seems like I vaguely remember running across a few posts indicating that.

Re: Where can I get the gray/silver valve stem caps?

The TPMS stems are aluminum, and will corrode if a metal cap is used. Honda actually "recalled" the metal caps on the early 2006 Ridgelines and sent out a package of plastic caps to replace them. I had one freeze up on me between tire rotations. It can happen that quickly.
