At $3.83 a set delivered, I'm not worried.  My Hyundai dealer left the original caps off when I took it in for the first service so I bought these.

I would have felt a bit deflated at that...

That would have capped off a bad service experience for me...

In any case, berate the dealership for their oversight. Make sure they capitulate. :winker:

Funny you should say that because they tyre pressure warning light came on as well shortly after leaving the dealership, 28 psi in each, as well as the caps, I think somebody forgot to finish their job!

Hyundai has been very, very good to me over the years I have had new cars from them and they were extremely embarrassed and very apologetic about the whole thing.

Fun fact.....
Was watching a review on the Bugatti Chiron.
The Valve caps on that weight 600 odd grams.
At 400+kph they weight over 6kgs......

That kiddies,is a reason why you shouldn't modify cars in your garage.

Here's another fact, the OP (Flower) only changed the valve caps, TPM valves are factory standard so no modification has been performed, aside from that do you know of any i30's that will do 400kph :rolleyes:

You might want to remove your own TPM valves to save weight, while your at it you can save an extra 3kg's per wheel if you upgrade to modified lightweight Enki or Koya forged wheels and convert the twin exhaust over to full single system saving another 8kg's with modified muffler, you might also be able to drop a few kg's yourself further enabling the benefits :)

TBH I wasn't sure if it was your sense of humour or you were trolling, hard to tell sometimes with certain posts :undecided: the use of Emojis is a good way of assuring the desired effect/response :wink:
