My guess would be that the wear would be more a long term issue. I ran them on the stock stems for a few hundred miles until I had my tire changes done and installed metal T-valves at that point.

If you are not part of the solution, YOU are the problem.
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.
TPMS caps will work just great on the stock rubber-mounted valve stems. You'll have no troubles whatsoever with that application.
None, that is....right up until the rubber-mounted stem fails from a mixture of age and the stress of the significantly higher induced G-forces caused by the extra weight of the heavier caps. Then...I just hope you're not on a curve at speed, or on the interstate doing 80mph. Because your tire will go flat in roughly a quarter of a second...
.....and perhaps you will as well.
To those who are about to die....we salute you.
