Valve Stem Question
Hello all, I just purchased a set of the OEM 08' BBS IS-F Wheels that do not have vale stems in them. Where do I get them from and does it have to be a certain type? Thanks in advance!!

TPMS sensors are intended to be used with the BBS rims and as mentioned incorporate the stem into the entire valve
These use a service pack which consist of nuts and "O" rings to secure onto the rim. These should be replaced each time the valve is removed from the rim.
If no TPMS system is used - performance low profile rims usually use a valve stem that look like these Ray's ones
Your standard local tire shop should be able to help you with proper valves and the TPMS will take some effort on your part to find the right price, order them and have them programmed into your car.

In Europe we do not have the TPMS, the wheels have standard valve stems with an 'alloy' cover and a matching cap. The cover can be removed so it can be installed on the new valve stem when the tire is changed
