I purchased the RAYS - Sebring - ITC rims from other member, but the valve stem are missing, when I went to install it today, the shop told me it's a special size(smaller) and not compatible to common stem........, can anyone tell me how to get or order a new set??? I want to get some help here before I call RAYS.

try your local wheel retailers, Mackins, or special order from japan...on jdm wheels, often times each model has specific valve stems...so far i have seen at least 5-7 diff ones

KevGS4

Right!! I will going to call them up see anyone has it.

Thanks.

Kevin,

Check with Bozz, Streetwize and MAS Wheelhouse, all deal in Rays. With so many local shops somebody hopefully has them.

KevGS4

Yeah I did, but they are not really willing to deal with it, may be feel too much work or trouble. Then Mackins re-direct me to Discount tire at LA, and they can order it for me from Japan!!! Guess how much per set.....$80. :eek: Anyway, I placed the order and should be able to get it by next week!!

Thank you gs4will and redgs4!!

kev..

sure, glad to be of help...

did you had to pay him first? $80 is quite steep for 4 valve stems..usually they are $40-50/set...from japan

KevGS4

REALLY???:eek: But I have no choice, since they order from Japan directly and shipped by 2nd day air, then send to me by next day, I think $80 is most likely to cover the freight charges.

Thanks

well, if you could get them within 7 days, then it is justifiable...i know which shop you are referring...long time ago when i needed few screws for my rays wheels ctr caps, the guy wanted $2 each(it was not special order from japan)..i later went to ace hardware and paid $0.05 each...

hmm, i guess i should order some more extra stems from japan just in case of urgent needs....

Yah... When my wheel shop had to order a new set of valve stems (because they screwed up one by over-tightening) it took about a week from a distributer in California and were about $7.50 per stem plus $5 S/H

I got an extra one, for the fronts, just in case. In case you didn't know on the AV3 the 10" wheels have different stems from the 9" ones.
