Valve stems cap woes
Today is the second time that I forgot to put them back after put air in the tires. Need to purchase yet another set of replacement.
OEM or aftermarket, any suggestion?

I wouldn't think you would have a "quality" issue with valve stem caps from eBay. They are simply there to keep dirt and debris from getting in the stem itself, and for cosmetics. I've never ever heard of a cheap or poorly made valve stem cap, honestly. I use regular caps simply because I know that teenage punks will steal any nice caps you try to put on your valve stems. No biggie really.

Don't use cheap plastic ones. Half the TPMS warnings arise from people using cheap plastic caps. Metal caps with an o-ring prevent additional air loss thru the valve stem.

Lol, didnt say it was recommended. I just didnt give a crap cause they were coming off the car shortly. Im just saying that, if they are in good working condition, the air loss is very minimal when not using caps and any cheap plastic caps will do. Especially if the OP has a habit of losing them.

^I'm pretty sure the only metal ones are aluminum. But to be specific, it would be best to get these :
