Help Finding Valve Stem for my Rare? Wheels
I broke a valve stem off one of my wheels while changing the tires. The wheels are Manaray Sport Vertex VR5's that came off a Soarer from Japan.
I cant seem to find a stem that fits the existing holes in the wheel. Can anyone give me any info on where I might find a replacement?
The letters "JAC" are visible on the original stem and there's a conventional aftermarket stem beside it for comparison. The original stem seems to have a threaded section of 6mm and a smooth shank of 8mm.

What is it about the valves you've found that doesn't fit? Diameter? Length? Length of threads? Seal? Knowing that info might help. Also, photos of both the inner and outer area of the wheel where the valve goes could help.

I think you should get in contact with a shop such as Evasive or RavSpec and ask them. Both of those shops are vendors for all of the major JDM wheels brands, and a lot of those wheel companies make valvestems for their wheels and other wheels that share the same parts. For example, in the SSR and RAYS catalog, they both have 2 pages devoted to just different valvestems that they produce.
And just in case it might be needed at some point, here's Manaray's japanese site
