Hi guys, hope everyone is keeping safe during these difficult times...

I am interested in purchasing these https://www.getbmwparts.com/oem-part...um-36122447402 (Part Number: 36122447402) for my F33 M Sport. But I have realized that my TPMS actually has the plastic kind of TPMS, not the aluminium style. Will using aluminium tyre valves work or corrode my plastic TPMS over time? Cheers!

Edit:
Well before anyone comments, I don't really know if they're plastic, they do look like it though from the outside, car year is 2015 428i! I've included a photo, unfortunately not next to car at the moment, this is the best pic I've got of a close up of the wheel!

if it is a rubber valve stem or any valve stem u can use whatever cap you would like. ive had bad experiences with the cheap ebay carbon ones multiple times so beware!!! but to be honest all bmw's ive seen come with a whiteish aluminum 2 piece valve stem. half stem/half tpm sensor. its hard to tell what u have in that picture. but they are like 30 bucks from the dealership i believe. its the actual tpm sensor thats big money hopefully u dont need one or more of those....

Hey mate yeah they are rubber, just confirmed. You think its ok to use the aluminium valves?

yes you will be okay i have not had problems with those caps. they are really nice and the ridges in the top part ensure a good grip to unscrew youll see when u get them
