help me find air valve cap for 172 rims
I am missing one air valve cap as shown on the picture.
I checked with the dealer and they don't carry this kind. Any idea where I can purchase this kind?

That looks like part 36146774590 which has been discontinued. The new caps are part 36111095436.
You are look on eBay or forums for the older style caps.

You can use any PLASTIC tire stem cap - those are less likely to be affected by corrosion than the old standard metal caps. I think the "Top Hat" design looks funky anyway and plain silver grey caps should readily be available for a couple of bucks at any auto department of the big box stores, Pep Boys, etc.

Great. Thank you for the feedback. Now that I have the part number I can try to find this. That is what they told me at the dealership, it was replaced with the one shown on the picture.
