Thumbs up

Managed to get an offer on the above valves.

Set of 4, with the airline adapter and 2 spare grommets.

I have these fitted to my alloys and they are awesome!

"Probably the ultimate wheel accessory! Replaces unsightly rubber valves with a discreet low profile metal dust cover. Designed to fit standard and aftermarket alloy wheels, they provide extra security and make the wheels easier to clean and polish."

Well the security bit is kind of true, without the airline adapter you would find it bloody hard to get the grommet out to be able to let the tyre down.

They also look a hell of a lot better than the standard ones.

Can get them delivered at £12 a set (delivered) for reasonable quantities (thats making a guess on postage costs which I need to get checked). Maybe a small discount for multiple sets, but its gonna be small, cos these sell at £20 option on replacement alloys and places like demon tweaks.

I will try to get some piccies sorted.

If anyone is interested let me know, I think I am gonna have to sort the cash side due to the low amounts involved, but may be able to arrange credit card etc if anyone wants like 20 sets

Personally I am never going back to manky rubber valves after using these.

Exclamation

I made a few enquiries about these a while back and although they look great, guys @ Motorsport Wheels reckon they can seize into the wheel and are a sod to get out should you need to replace one. If you can't get it out it's a new alloy!

Maybe they've been improved, but check out thoroughly.

hmm think I may have found something no one is interest in rofl

next time I think about hastling a supplier for a good price on something just shoot me

robski

p.s. did ask about the sticking thing and apparently its never been heard of by this wheel distributor (big) so I dont know why that previous comment was made, unless its a difference in where they are made, these were decent german engineered ones.
