I like these valve caps http://bikerzbits.com/tyre-valve-cap-bikers-cnc.html but I think the may be a little heavy so I think a wheel balancing may be necessary.
Opinions?

Bin them and get plastic ones.
Plastic ones will never fuse onto the valve stems.

Will your wheels need balancing because of these caps?
Absolutely not.

gn2 wouldn't be wasting any lube on his valve stem.

KY is expensive, mind you sometimes Vaseline can be had at a baaaaaargain price.
