I took my rebuilt Cerberus ii's to a tire store to have the tires mounted. While mounting the tires, they accidentally broke off the valve stem from outside of the barrel. Whatever, it happens. They offered to pay for the replacement stem, which I found on this website (http://www.shop.footworkautosport.com/WEDS-Wheels-Valve-Stems-WS-VS-ALST.htm).

Here's the problem. I need my wheel back on or by Friday, and this website won't likely even ship the valve stem until Tuesday, because Monday is a holiday. Will a regular valve stem from autozone work with the Weds wheels? I'll have to reach around the spokes for now to fill it up, but I need something to hold me over until these show up in the mail. Will it work?

The one I need is $25 and then $7 for shipping. For a single valve stem. Good thing they're paying for it LOL

yes it will work. the angle of the valve stem is all design/looks. as long as the regular straight valve stem fits and doesn't hit anything you're golden.

Call some local tire shops. I've found metal valve stems in various angles and lengths before.
