Also, am I supposed to keep the valve stem caps on as well?

I wonder why your installer had issues with the screw. I'm going to get the 90 degree iForged ones and use those. I would think with or without valve stem caps, it shouldn't matter. |
I used the iForged 90 degree adapters on my GT-S wheels with no major issues; they worked. The only issue is that the o-ring/seal on the iForged valve-stem gets stretched pretty good. My tire shop recommended replacing the valve-stem or o-rings each time I replaced my tires. I actually think the butterfly adapter works better, and eliminates this issue. I would not use bands; there are much better solutions (I would have a machine shop tap a second hole in each wheel like Volk does now before I used bands).
