Default Tire valve caps on e-bay

I saw these on e-bay and was wondering if anyone has seen them.
I wonder if they are plastic or steel.
Is anything like this available from our venders

Personally I think these are much nicer - the caps are available on their own also....

Remember we also have very nice 928 Owners Club valve stem caps! You can see them in the goodie store: www.928oc.org

they look great for stripping off the brass threads of your valve stem when some one tries to steal them..

They are metal Brad. I don't use the set screws. If someone steals them I'll buy more. They are only $4.

They are coming from Hong Kong... you're better off buying the OEM ones Alan mentioned.

Put some of the fancy metal Porsche valve stem caps (just the cap) on my Boxster. They weighed enough that I had to have the wheels re-balanced with them on. Shimmied at 80. On my 928 I have some very light weight black plastic ones with color logo on top. Also from Porsche Dealership. Think either one was a whole $15 for a set of 4.
