    If you dressing your SE or any car with desirable stem metal cups always apply lubricant to prevent to fuzz them to TMPS .I went with BMW X4 Competition to see a 6C97A4C6-314A-4480-B1B8-B8DD2E22323F.jpeg dealer with low pressure on my tire with those metal cups bc I was not able take them of to inflate a tire those wizards rip of my TMPS / brake in half . Cost to replace $200 and I stop them to do more damage to rest of them at home I drill the rest of those cups with 1/16 drill bit apply W-40 and I take them off with ease .If you don’t need a headache keep plastic cups forever or lubricate those nice cups once you put them on a SE . This was my first experience with this crab.

  3. I have metal ones on mine, to match the BRG, and a dab of Vaseline inside works ok. They've been on and off for well over a year now, and never seized up. Just re-apply every 3 to 6 mths.
