Cheap, seals well, and real metal

I got these when they showed up as an deal on the home page of the app. Seems like I’m always missing one valve stem cap or they’re mismatched between the wheels. These are pretty decent, especially for the under $8 price I got them for. They are real aluminum, but they’re so thin that they hardly have any weight. That doesn’t matter too much for valve stem caps, though it feels odd when you know you’re holding metal. They do screw on snugly and feel like they’ve got an o-ring or something inside to seal out dirt. They look decent enough on the valve stem. I’d prefer them to be 2-3 mm shorter as they feel like they stick out a lot. The knurling on them also looks a little too blingy for my tastes. I’d prefer a hex cap that looks more machine-like but couldn’t find anything nearly as cheap as these and I can’t see spending much on caps for the valve stems. I do like that you get a ton of them. That ought to keep me going even if I lose one now and then.
