It's a different shade of blue. Here is an example (not my pic):
Where did you buy these? I'm in need of replacement covers for my Work valve stems after 2 of them were swiped this summer off my car and they seem to be hard to find online... the cheapest I've found with shipping is still $86 (which stinks since I only need 2 covers, but have to buy 4 valve stems to get them)
I have the lugs you want on my car as well and LOVE them though!
Thankfully they all made it through the incident unscathed...

I think I got them in 2010 from a member at 8thcivic. It was brand new and came in the unopened plastic for $15 shipped. I didn't get them installed until I needed new tires, so that was in Jan 2012. Lol. I read about you getting your caps stolen. I can't believe how inconsiderate people can be. I also can't believe how expensive the stems are.Where did you buy these?

Wouldn't any nice looking cap fit on the valves? The reason I bring this up is because I buy things(usually name brand if it's a good product), then once it's home I cut any tags off of it, like debadging the Civic from our cars. The reason I would buy the valves is that it's a top quality product, and would be harder to cut than a rubber valve and wouldn't have the leaking problems, but I could care less about the engraving on the cap.............. Just me

Well she has 2 but needs another 2. It wouldn't look right if she gets them mismatched. MissE, you can probably try contacting the store that sold you the stems and ask to purchase for the caps instead.

I was talking about if she can't get them , then buy something that looks nice... and of course take off the two she has, so that all 4 match.

I think that a different cap would look weird on the blue valve stem though? I even looked at other blue ones sold locally, but the Work blue is a lighter shade so nothing was the right colour match. Everything was such a perfect match before... hell I even shelled out a lot of extra cash so that my lugs would match the valves since again, the other brands we a slightly different shade. *Sigh*... stupid thieves
And Dar-Dar I tried the original shop I got the Work wheels through but they haven't been able to get me a replacement set either as that item alone doesn't meet the "minimum order" quota (since they come from Japan) so we're stuck waiting for someone else to order a set of wheels in order to get them. Due to the price, they aren't frequent sellers around here, since I've been waiting since September and no one else in the city has ordered a set of Works yet! They're also the only shop in the Province that sells that brand so I'm lacking in the options.

Have you tried contacting Nextmod, MissE? It's a store in Canada that sells a lot of aftermarket parts. I'm not sure how far you are from them. Here's their site: http://nextmod.com/webstore/index.php

Their site appears to be down at the moment, but I'll keep checking for when it comes back up! I'm assuming they sell online? As I know we don't have any around here locally.

Yes, they do sell online! They have a pretty high reputation too. I'm not sure why their site is down though.
