Small ass hole for valve stem

[95zilvia]

My some sort of old JDM rims need new valve stems, I lost the old ones when I was redoing my wheels.

They're fucking tiny.

The holes for the valve stems are hella small.

Like, hella small.

As small as uhm.. small end of a papermate pen?

What do I get.

[LB.Motoring]

they might be the metal stems, the ones where there tiny the whole way..

good luck with that shizz hahah,

[95zilvia]

yeah, they are metal valve stems for sure.
i remember there were some rubber o rings or some shit

[mrmephistopheles]

no pics yet? Fail.
Go to a tire place, or a good rim shop. They'll have it.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

I have 2, they came with my FN's

[zugoi]

Cant you just replace them or is that what your askin? Do jdm rims need special small valve stems.

[95zilvia]

I want to know what they are
and where to get em.
Fuckin small holes man.
Like, smaller than McDonalds straws.

[ROTTEN EGG]

'Small asshole for valve stem'

edit:
or 'small valve stem for asshole'?
for filling/relieving of 'pressure'?

[MrMigs]

hahah lol that's what I saw when I read the title quick.

Yea those valve stems are a bitch to find. Some of the wheels at RB Motoring use those tiny valves - I think I saw them on some older BBS mesh wheels.

[95zilvia]

What shall I do.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

What shall I do.

they sell em on ebay. or most tire places SHOULD be able to order them. they are...... how you say..... FUCKING EXPENSIVE. something like $7 each IIRC. we had to order some for my friend's zauber's.


edit: search "metal valve stems" or the like. then look for the "old style" ones.

I got a set from Tirerack for about $8. Call them and tell them the diameter of the hole in the rim and they can get the valve stems for you.

[NemeGuero]

Lubrication and a little gentle persuasion will fix any small ass hole.

[A Spec Products]

I already told you brah

Go to tire shop

Get generic rubber ones

[95zilvia]

i work at firestone :P
none of em fit god damnit
ill try to look for some motorcycle ones.

[lok]

The motorcycle style is the one that fits.

i have ssr and volk old school wheels that they work on.

11.00 shipped for a set of four.

[ixfxi]

metal valve stems are dirt cheap, most quality wheel retailers should stock them. i purchased a few billion for like 10 bucks, they are not pricey wholesale.

fuck rubber valve stems, those are so cheap and... CHEAP looking. seriously, fuck that shit.. get metal ones.

[95zilvia]

hey, spare me some of your few billion for $10.
i'll pay like, $11 shipped if they're the right ones.
the threaded part that goes thru the rim has to be 4mm or somethin

sure. how bout this, i have some blue ones (brand new) that came with a set of Enkei RP-F1 wheels that I purchased a while back. I dont need them because I dont like blue valve stems, or blue anything for that matter.

So, if you want THOSE.. and dont mind the blue bling, then email me and we'll talk.

Just curious why you haven't called Tirerack to get the parts you need?

[KADRIFTER]

I worked at America's Tires (Discount Tires in some states) for years and saw these once a month. Go to America's Tires and buy em' or Tirerack like the other dude said - done.
