Valve stems.

I am currently looking into purchasing a set of valve stems for my S30. I've tried searching for info on google but to no avail. What's the deal with these things? What is available? What works, what doesn't? Experiences? please share any information you may have, and discuss.

I have SSR MKIIIs so i can pretty much run whatever i want. I understand America's Tire carries pretty generic stuff, Do the generic rubber ones work really well? I kinda want something shiny and fancy pants, unless of course there is a performance or durability drawback.

just get you some regular old high pressure valve stems. they slide in just like normal valve stems. they handle quite a bit of pressure. dont qoute me, but i think they handle up to 120psi. my part number through my work is hp600. the brand is xtra seal. check them out. i have used them since day 1, and they haven't failed me yet.

The SSR valve stems are very affordable. The only con about them is they break easy. I broke on tightening it to much and I broke another one mounting the tire from the tire bead pressing on it.

There is a spot right by Limitless. I checked all over the bay, and they were the only ones that had what I wanted as well as didn't try to charge me $20 a piece.

You're are like #5 in the image posted above, right?

Text me the length and I'll grab them for you if you want.
