alright! so i got my valvestem seals fixed... for now
hopefully they'll go all the way

here's what i did
get some angled valvestem from here
http://www.instantop.com/cyclepages/valve.htm
scroll down to the bottom of the page..
there's a 45 degrees bent valvestem

buy some
use the included seals for your L-shaped valvestem
viola! done.. fits snuggly
OR
you can just use the 45 degrees bent valvestem with the included seals
fits perfect..
however im not sure if it will clear Z brakes cuz its only 45 degrees bent

i found a website selling a 90 degrees bent valvestems
but i forgot the link to that shop
PM me if you need it
i got their email address

btw.. nice car there ruf

Those SSRs were supposed to be mine! I called jspec and Ernie (I think that's his name) told me that they were sold earlier that day. I was sooooo ****ed.

Anyway, they look great on the ride and congrats on locating the propper stems

I like my meshies though!

I am so ****ed off. Knucklehead took 2 of my valvestems off and replaced them with rubber straight ones when they mounted my tires. I just tried driving off and I hear this clickclickclick. I find that the valvestem is hitting my caliper. I swap so that all the straight stemmed wheels are on the back which has a smaller brake assembly and I'm alright for tonight. I'm going to kick someone's a$$ tomorrow.

Also anyone happen to know the centerbore for old school SSR wheels? I need to pick up some hubcentric rings tomorrow.
