So i had the tires dismounted on my wheels and somehow they sheered off one of the valve stems. they are a 90 degree elbow style. I searched online but none of the elbows i found looked like they would be long enough. anyone know where to find them? for a Work wheel

 

I run a shop that also does tires, anywhere that does tires should be able to get any kind of valve stems you want. I know I can get them through one of our tire distributers.

 

ok, well the place that took the tires off seemed pretty adamant that they absolutely could not get me a new valve stem and that I would have to get it myself. So i'll just try some other tire place?

 

Yea, I would look at anouther shop, if you still have a problem take a pic and post it, we can go from there

 

I will post a picture tomorrow. I have struck out at all the local tire places for some reason. after inspecting the other stems i realized that they

a) forgot to put the Work valve caps back on
b) some how the inner part of the cap that seals it is missing in each one.

 

not my wheels but that is exactly the same valve stem right there.

 

I am pretty sure I can get those kind, I would have to order them. Let me look in my book on Mon. If you can't get them anywhere else I could ship them to you.

 

You know I don't have any idea why no one in your area can't get them or why you could not find them on-line, I typed in wheel valve stems on google and found this page, http://www.wheelcomponents.com/stems.html , I am sure you can find different sites but if you still want me to get some for you I can.

 

should i order the 512 you think? or the taller one?

 

I think the one in the pic you posted is the 511, measure yours and get the same kind with a few spairs.

 

the stems i use are a 90 degree bend though, so next time i'm home, i'll take a measurement. the only thing i am worried about is that 1" won't be long enough.
