TPMS Valve Stem Cap?

Apparently when I left the dealer last time and got home one of my caps was missing...no big deal I think, I will just buy a new one. Does it matter what caps I replace them all with or do they have to be plastic?
Thanks,
MB

I would suggest plastic covers .. Same thing happened to me I just put grey plastic caps on the TPMS valves. Luckily I was working at a dealer and was able to just get some. From what I've read never use metal valve caps.

The cap doesn't matter. Get whatever you like.

Some metal caps can have corrosion issues, so I generally prefer plastic.
