Default Tire pressure caps

I noticed that one of my tire valve caps is missing, any suggestions on where to get them. I just have the stock wheel (rays... gun metal..yada yada). Thanks for the help.

Just stock, I went to auto-zone and the caps they had were so obnoxious and they wouldn't match the wheel at all. I'm talking like chrome, blue, pink etc. Really stupid looking. I just want some that don't look ridiculous

Not sure where to get tire valve caps. Maybe the auto parts store. Just a hunch.

I have a bunch of those caps laying around. I've never used them because I like to check my tires myself. If I find a set of four I can mail you to them for free. Just pm me your address. I'll let you know if I find them.

This is quite a rare coincidence Kels, as just couple weeks ago someone from your city posted a similar query. He was lamenting a lost valve cap from one of his Nismo wheels; he went on to say how he wanted to keep his car authentic and original in every way. His question was where could he obtain an exact duplicate cap. The consensus of opinion here was he should just look around parking lots for another Nismo 350Z, and ‘bob’s your uncle’ problem solved.

Oops, sorry about that!

Hahaha........hilarious, yeah I'm just cool with something that looks decent. Maybe I should find the person from my town and become a stalker!!! J/K . I think I'm just going to go to Discount tire and see if they have anything close.

They're the ones that tell you what psi your tires are at. They're color coded. Green, yellow, red in that order of psi level from high to low, respectively.
