TPMS question

My wife wants to put black Enkei NT03+m's on her X. The question I have about this is that she wants black valve stems with this setup. Is there a manufacturer of the TPMS sensors with black stems?

what about some plasti-dip or paint? You should try Tire rack for the TPMS sensors they might be black.

They aren't. They are exactly the same VDO senders as came on the original wheels. But that also means that they have a removable sleeve that he ... er, his wife can paint.

No I would be the one painting them.. she goes "hey I want that" and I figure out a way to get it done..

I think I'm going to band the TMPS inside the wheel, like Ford does.

They make black caps and you can paint the valve stem part of the sensor pretty easily. The valve stem and the sensor aren't made together, so it should be pretty easy to paint them separately.
