I am getting mine painted black to match my rims.

Just paint the valve stems and cap to match the color of the wheels.

Use the aftermarket stems and strap your tpms inside. You get the best of both worlds.

I went with custom stems & don't worry about the TPMS error. I normally have it in "M" mode out of the gate so the extra light isn't a big deal. If it bugs me I'll give Tom a holler. I think TPMS are a waste of $$ & causes the tire shop to put on a ton of wieghts to balance them. Check your air pressure once every 1-2 weeks & don't worry about it.
