Hi Brandon,
Why not jus paint the cheese head screw? You do not need to remove the “air bolt”.

Is there any benefit to those wheels other than looks?

Yes, but make sure you clean the thread and fit a new o ring to the base of the valve assembly - install with a blob of threadloc and it shouldn't leak.

Brandon, Jaguar produce a Gold version of the Growler for the grill surround - but don't make my mistake and polish it or the finish comes off!
Also, how about doing the 'V8' on the B posts in Gold too? Gold Jaguar decals on the calipers? It's the details isn't it! Love the wheels.

I ​​​​​​just got the new valves from SBwheels.

Gosh, they are expensive!

Not sure why you needed new ones. Unless the heads are stripped. I have a spare and I was able to polish the M8 head to like new.

You can also run the brembo 4 rotor&caliper setup, if your car didn't come with them from factory. Looks and the big brakes behind them-worth it completely.

Brandon, I guess you have decided to delete the cheese head valve cap? As with all valve caps they keep dust and muck out which could compromise the valve when airing up.
