Metal tyre valves

[The colonel]

ok - new SO3's are going on the rear this week and I want to replace the valves with the correct type i.e. the metal ones fitted to 400 series OZ wheels.

Anyone know the make and where I can get them from?

Halfrauds can get Rimstock racing aluminium valves - very similar, but not quite same as original.

Think mine might be s/s

(I am a bod for originality)
cheers

Ah, Rimstock

Used to be one of my clients; I maintained their x-ray systems that inspected all the wheels as they came out of the dies.

Well, when I say ALL the wheels...

Quick update
225/50/VR15 SO3's
1st quote £125 fitted
2nd quote £92 fitted

Availability from Bridgestone proving to to be a bit of a problem at present though. (not supplying any)

Not got hold of the metal valves yet either, - might keep the ones installed and just replace the inner core spring thingy?
What do you reckon (if it works dont fix it)?

I bought a set of stainless steel valves from demon tweeks.. about 20 quid - I think..
