Title: Split Rim Tyre Valves
Post by: juzzyp on September 21, 2007, 08:10:04 AM
It appears my front right valve is leaking lots of air and no tyre fitters have this type of valve. I can\'t afford a new set of alloys at the moment.
 
The valve looks like this in the picture below (not off my car but an example)
 
Does anyone know where I can get them from?

they a Rays wheel by any chance had the same problem. got them from here in the end //www.part-box.com
they are not cheap! they cost £45 quid for 4 if there Rays. and there are serval types in angle and length of the valve.
