New Tyre/Wheel Valves.

Postby Bumpy » Sat Aug 18, 2007 8:53 pm

Would like some new tyre/wheel valves as I'm getting my wheels stripped and powder coated White.

These are the ones I have now

The one on the left is ok, but have tried the ones from the tyre shop (Firestone) and they are too big for the holes in the rim.

I'm guessing cause they are Japanese rims, they where on the car when I bought it, they have smaller holes for the valve.

Any help would be great, Thanks.

Drilled the holes for the valves out and they fit mint as.
