Missing valve stem of my new RAYS - ITC
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

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!!

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.

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.
