A couple of kids made off with my valve covers and i m having no luck finding the original metal ones. Anyone know where I can buy these?

Cheers!!

Just go to your local Wal-Mart. Look for another pathfinder and there you go. Lol. Jk.

I would go to tire shops and see if they have any laying around.

Unless you are stuck on having "genuine Nissan" metal tire valve caps, there are a ton of options on Ebay as low as under $3/set with free shipping. Just search "metal tire valve caps."

One thing to note with the nissan ones if you live anywhere where they salt the roads. If your tires last a few years and you don't remove the valve covers, they'll corrode onto the valve stems and make it difficult to remove. On my Xterra's spare tire, it caused me to snap off the valve stem making a bad day worse. I have replaced the ones on our Pathfinder with the simple plastic ones for this reason.
