Are valve stems rim/size specific? I recently had my rims re-done (RH Pro's) and they returned them w/o the valve stems. I called the shop and they are gonna look to see if they can find them.They are angled valve stems.

Worst case scenario, I end up having to get some new ones.Any recommendations on where to order a good set? I searched around and the only good ones I came across were volks.

Thanks for the input.

 

My Works came with their own valve stems. I didn't want to put on the Work caps cause I people be stealing them. I went to Autozone and got some cheapo caps. They fit fine.

EDIT: Whoops. I see you wanted the angled valve stems.

 

Ebay has a lot of Volk valve stems.

 

i have a set of angle valve stem that came off of my RH R5 pros. i replace those with the tpms adapter and those came with the stem already.

pm me

 

so there not rim specific as far as the hole size?

 

This sucks, I lost two of my RAYS stems when I picked up a new set of rears.

Any vendor should be able to find you a new set.

 

I'm wondering if KevinCats stems are chrome and how they would actually look on the flat black rim...and RAYS stems are around 90 bucks from what i found

 

I called the tire shop today that replaced my tires and they don't recall seeing them. Hopefully I placed them somewhere in the car for safe keeping.

BTW, these RAYS caps are $70.

^damn rays OWNZ JOO!

 

LOL

 

damn that sucks waizzzzzzz..so are you ordering two more rays stems?

im still debating if i wanna get the chrome stems from kevin or get black ones to go along w the rims

 

I'm not sure, if I can't find mine I might buy them and sell the two I don't need.

 

I've heard different opinions from different tire shops:

From the shop just trying to make an extra dollar:
Shop rep: "you need to replace the stem every time you replace the tire"
Me: "please reuse the stems that are on there" (RPF1s btw)
Shop rep: "that's dangerous, they eventually leak air"
Me: "thank you for the warning"

From the shop who knew what they were doing:
Me: "please reuse the valve stems that are on there"
Mechanic: "no problem, these are obviously made for this wheel and they should last a very long time"
Me: "thanks for taking good care of them (slips him $5), see you next time"
