Valve stem from HELL. I have a leak in my valve stem. However, it's a specialty valve stem and no one has it. So..this morning, i dropped my car off at "snow tires". there was this old timer who told me that he can rebuild my existing valve stem with new gaskets.

basically...it's L shaped valve stem.

I have 3 piece wheels. one round wheel, "another piece with spokes" in it and a centercap. "another piece with spokes" are bolted onto the main wheel by using 30 small hex nuts around the whole wheel. Now, the air inlet of the valve stem (where you put air) is coming through the hole instead of one of those 30 small hex nuts.

the wheels are JDM wed sports 3 piece and no one sells them and no one has them. where can i get my valve stem rebuilt?

most tire warehouses carry L shaped valve stems and most tire and wheel retails shops can get a hold of them

similar, but it's gotta be sharp L shaped. tire shops claim they never saw one like this before...and I've been to 4 places already.

those kinda of valves you are looking for are designed for speciality wheels, like volk, or some other exotic wheels.....check with Discount Tire Co, and tell them what you need and they can order what you need.
