Default Volk question..

Got the SF-Challenge on the Z and been having problems with it. The valve stem keeps leaking air on one of the rims. Where do I go about contacting volk and see about getting new valve stems? Had the rims since last summer so not even a year yet. TIA!

Did you buy it new? If so, call the vendor from where you purchased it.

Take it to a trustworthy tire shop you just need to replace or adjust the o-rings on the valve stem. The person who sold you the rims may not have placed the o-ring properly. Same thing happened to me. Just adjust to make oring sit evenly and you should be all set

Contact the vendor you purchased them from, if theyre an AUTHORIZED VOLK dealer than they should be able to replace them for you. If they dont help you, shoot me a PM and I can get them for you but unfortunately they will not be free.

99.9% of the time the leak is cause by the person that install the valve stem and didn't tighten it all the way..
