Question Help with valve stem problem

hello Guys,

I've recently installed my aftermarket wheels, and one of the wheel has what to be a shorter valve stem compare to others (have not take any measurements). My dealership has to use a "blower" to inflate it. I just wonder what can i do. Do i need to replace the stem valve, or find some kind of an adapter to inflate the tire. Please let me know.

thanks,

kuki

Any reasonably-stocked auto parts store should have tire valve stem extenders that will solve the problem.

hey man, you need to post your new setup too Javier. yeah, i need to have my rear bumper fixed and other things on before to post some pics. I think overall it looked nice, just the front need some drop, but i am afraid it rubs. BTW, i just purchased the mirror cover turn signal and notice that you have them on your car too, maybe you can post some DIY for me.

also did you get all the "stuffs" from paypal?
