Nice! I've got to find something other than the green plastic ones my tires came with.

I had some branded aluminum caps on my G37, took the car to Discount Tire one day for a rotation, it came back with the cheap grey plastic caps they use. When I asked where my caps were they denied any knowledge of them. A search of the shop showed nothing. Even the tech to did the job denied it (I still wonder if he drove an Infiniti).

Lesson learned: remove them before tire work.

Just know those green caps indicate tires are filled with nitrogen.. and if you change the caps and ever get wheel service done REMEMBER TO NOTIFY THE MECHANIC they are filled with nitrogen.

Also, before anyone says anything, that was yesterday. I did wash the car this morning, and cleaned up the wheels.

Right, so here's the coincidental truth: I actually went to this site's Genesis store, specifically to BUY those caps, because I remembered they were on there. For some reason, they are no longer stocked.

So I went to Amazon to find them. Which of course they had. But then...I noticed the bling caps in the "customers who looked at this also looked at: " section...and then I was powerless to not buy them.

Well, I bought too, last night... and for the Infiniti, too - but resisted the urge for the dazzling bling - went with the boring OEM...

78% nitrogen, specifically!

My dealer wanted $4,276 each for those... do you think that is too much?

Not at all. The trace amounts of helium lift the car off the road a bit and improve performance. Tires are unsprung weight so lightening them helps acceleration.

Good point, thank you! Although, normal breathing air is like 75 percent nitrogen, so I guess it's the difference between 75 percent nitrogen and 100 percent! Nevermind, should have read the rest of the thread before replying.
