Hey everyone, Im hoping someone here can help me. Ive searched for awhile for anything that would help steer me in the right direction and I still seem to be stuck with this problem.
I bought a set of Nismo lmgt2's about a week or so ago. They looked to be in great shape. However the seller didn't notify me that one of the rims was missing a valve stem.
I want to know if anyone has ran into this problem before and/or if anyone knows what they did or how I can go about fixing this issue. OFCOURSE I HAVE ALREADY LOOKED INTO REPLACING ALL OF THEM WITH A NEW STYLE 90 DEGREE VALVE STEM, but I have no idea on what size stem to use. Im not to thrilled about this at all... Hopefully someone can shine some light on this situation and Im not totally screwed.
IF ANYONE HAS A REPLACEMENT 90 DEGREE VALVE STEM / KNOWS OF A VALVE STEM THAT WOULD BE A DIRECT REPLACEMENT WITH NO MODIFICATION REQUIRED / HAS ACCESS TO A DAMAGED LMGT2 WITH A VALVE STEM PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Thanks guys.

A valve stem is a valve stem, go to your local tire shop and buy one and put it in yourself

^No its not just a regular valve stem... I don't think I would have made this thread if it was a regular everyday style one.

Right... As I mentioned, I have already looked into that, and that's my last resort. I was wondering if there was any other options rather that getting a random 90 degree one that wont match and look like shit... Like if anyone had a messed up rim(s) that I could get for cheap to use for the part and have extra rims, or if someone had a valve stem laying around (although I doubt that would happen). But yes that's my last resort.
And also if that is my only option I wanted to know if anyone knew of a "direct replacement" instead of me searching and searching until I found the needle in the haystack.
But yes, thanks again.

If you don't want shitty ones that don't match, replace all of them. Duh.
Also, if they point of your thread was to be offered a valve stem replacement, you probably should POST A PICTURE OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND SAY THAT IN THE ORIGINAL POST.

Yea that's what I will prob have to end up doing. Any particular ones you think will fit and look somewhat like the stock ones?

Ive been trying to find some from the dealer/frsport etc. They don't make them anymore from what I can tell. And yea I was considering replacing all of them, but I need to find a direct replacement that will fit as good as stock ones. Any ideas?

Post pics of the valve stem dude. I don't think anyone can help you until you do that.

go here they had the valve stems for my Regamaster Marquis Promadas... and they were only $11
compared to the Enkei Rpf1 valve stems (which also fit) Enkei wanted to charge me $26 each valve stem!
