Washed and used Armor All Wheel Protectant on Thursday; this is how they look after 100 miles.

Frank, got them from eBay, but I drove by my dealer last Thursday to pick up my bedliner, and they had the same ones in stock for the same price. If your dealer doesn't stock them, here's a reputable seller with the same OEM stems for sale...

Jay, they look great however.....
Check with your dealer if these are made from steel or aluminum and if they're compatible with the Cayenne for winter use.
Most TPMS systems use aluminum stems and hardware. During winter months and driving in salt-encrusted road conditions, a chemical reaction may take place between the aluminum stems and the steel valve caps causing the caps to seize/corrode. Usually, this corrosion results in stem failure and sudden tire deflation.
This is the primary reason why most tire shops now install aluminum or plastic valve caps on late-model TPMS-equipped vehicles for tire replacement.
