    I recently got new tires on my 2012 Prius two and the plain black plastic valve stem caps look a bit odd. Does the Prius come with custom caps that the tire place might have kept? Thanks.

    I'm wondering why they replaced the valve caps. Did they charge you for a tpms refurb, for example? One thing I always do: remove valve caps before going into a tire place.
