Couldn't have said it better myself. I mean come on, "Type R" valve stem caps? Yea I'm sure you'll gain 8whp off of them.

[sulimed]

you wouldn't even see'em less you were looking for'em

I have more trouble with spending $9.99 on air caps.

Every time I've ever had nice valve stem caps, they've been stolen off my car. (grumbles)

[AstroVannin]

the best part is when they corode and permenantly attach themselves to the valve stem

OR ... they get stolen.

The way you decide if something is rice is to look at it like this:

Does this make my car look faster than it actually is? Yes? Rice.
Does putting this on my car serve the purpose it was designed for and/or is it useful on my car? No? Rice. (for instance a drag wing on a FWD car, yes, it creates downforce at high speeds, do you need it to keep the rear end down? No)
Is it something that applies to my car? No? Rice (for instance, slapping a Pep Boys GT-R badge on the back of your Honda)

If it's something strictly aesthetic but isn't intended to make your car look like it's faster, or it's useful and aesthetic, it's not rice.

I tend to stay away from anything that has "Type-R" on it. And that's a lot of damn money to keep dirt out of your Schrader valves.

I wouldn't call it rice if your car was a type r.
even if you were doing a mock up type r (not available in our model)
it'd be okay.
matching parts is fine.

everyone i know with metal valve caps has had them stolen appart from the ones on my car which are alloy bbs caps suprisingly no-one has taken them.
I'd be really pissed if they went missing.

used to have bullet one's and skull one's on my bike they never lasted long.

"Rice" is nothing more than an opinion. What is considered "rice" will vary from person to person.

Truth.
