Hello all,

I have a set of Versus Sesto Turismo, see link...

http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/sestoturismo.htm

I was having a set of new tyres fitted today and the fitter broke one of the valves The problem I have now is that no one seems to sell them

They are metal, bolt into place, and the end which goes into the wheel is 5mm diameter. I think I am correct in thing that the UK valves are 10mm so what do I do???

Has anyone else got Jap wheels with metal valves???

TimDave25

Well I am all sorted now.

If anyone gets the same problem contact www.elitedirect.com in essex as they have a few imported from Japan for the Skyline boys.

£6.99 each + postage!!!

Well, they were the ones that kept sending me the crap ones that dont fit! I just managed to get some 'proper' ones from a dealer in Bournemouth and they were £10 each plus VAT. Will be interesting to see what you got, or get.

I was supplied these:


Should have been these:


Although the 'proper' ones didn't fit either

Mine are the second ones they fit perfectly and have not leaked any air.... yet!
