Black TPMS valve stems from Tirerack

jww///95 · 03-14-2012, 07:32 AM

I had been searching for black TPMS sensors unsuccessfully for a month or so while waiting to buy tires for my black apex arc-8s.

Then over the weekend, I found that Tirerack offers black valve stems and caps for the beru setup. See attached pic for detail, but this saved me a step of having to half ass paint the silver ones black.

I don't have a part number, but the description on the invoice reads "Optional black valve stem and valve cap" - $ 2.99 each.

Just talk to Ben @ Tirerack. He will take care of you.

Thanks! I was just starting my search for the same thing.

Potemkin · 03-14-2012, 07:48 AM

What are these things? Going to get new rubber tomorrow - assume I don't need to ask for one of these per tyre?

Great find.....I just started looking for these yesterday........Phil

I am ordering tires tommorrow from tire rack. . Can I just order black valves or do I need to order the sensors also? Would it work on the OEM Beru sensors I already have for my 11' e92 m3

jww///95 · 03-20-2012, 08:07 AM

As the black stems and caps were a separate line item on the invoice, I believe you can order separately. Talk to Ben (ext 660) -- he'll sort it out for you.

Damn....my sensors and valve stems just arrived today in silver....didn't know this was an option.

**ben@tirerack** · 03-20-2012, 04:33 PM

Thanks for the referral. Black valve sleeve for the TPMS is 'BLACKSLEEVE2' it should come up as an optional accessory to the valve stem. As noted above, if you have any problem online feel free to call me.

Damn x2. I just got my GTS reps installed, with silver sensors

Rakus · 03-20-2012, 11:45 PM

Ordered my tires pilot super sports and black sleeves for the stems. Can wait to put it on wit the OEM GTS wheels hopefully this weekend.

It looks like the 328 uses the same sensors as the M3, so they should work. These fit most Beru sensors.

I just purchased TPM from Ben for my GTS wheels. I didn't know they had black ones. As I was buying them I thought to my self I wish I could get black ones because the silver ones are going to look out of place. It's to late now that everything is already mounted and balanced.

I drop off my ZCP for Powder Coating (20% gloss) and i never thought about my valve stem until i saw this thread, You can always order a set and wait until you change new tires!

Called TireRack on Tuesday and it got delivered yesterday!

Bump. I can't for the life of my find these valve stems or even the Beru TPMS sensors on tire rack's website. Anyone have a link?

Website will be pretty futile for getting the sensors by themselves. If you pretend you are buying a wheel it would show them, but I think when you take the wheel out of the cart the sensors will go too.

Since the sensors are OEM parts, and have been hard to come by at times. When supply is tight, the sensors are only sold with wheels, so the website only ever sells them with wheels.

They are usually available for purchase separately by phone. They can be purchased separately at the current time.

Nice, I wonder if they have these for other cars. I hate the look of the silver ones on my black wheels.

JsL · 10-04-2017, 05:17 PM

I'm not an expert on this, but from my research online, these should fit beru and huf tpms sensors. Will not fit VDO sensors, as they have a proprietary valve stem. Look into who makes the factory tpms sensor and you should know if these will fit.
