Default Quick Rant -- Valve stems w/new lugs!

Ok so I bought some BLACK Procomp Spline Lugs to match my ALL BLACK Walker Evans. When I opened the box I noticed Polished Aluminum Valve stems. WTF? Why cant lug manufacturers send MATCHING heavy duty BLACK valve stems? MCGARDS did this to me as well a while back with previous wheels!!! WTF?!!!!

NM the chrome was just sleeve over the rubber part....it slid right off. Now I just need to get a black cap....

I had those lug nuts for about a year and ended up splitting the lug key and it was only used by hand. i contacted 4wp and they supplied a new one that looked like a better material for free. that one split too! less than 2 weeks after i got it. talk about frustrating, i ended up going with regular black lug nuts..

Read quite a few people with the same issues on other forums
