Valve stems and dark wheels

You guys with dark wheels, is there a way to darken the TPMS valve stems so they don't stick out bright silver against a dark wheel? Should I just spray paint them before install or is there a better alternative?

I have very dark anthracite wheels and haven't even noticed the silver stems. I guess you could just spray them.

If you are looking for a better alternative, we do offer a number of different valve stem finish options. I have included a link to those below!

APEX OEM TPMS VALVE STEMS

This is a much cleaner solution when compared to simply just painting your existing stems.

Nice, I've always hated the silver look. Requires unmounting of tires I'm guessing?
