Where to get presta valve stems? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I am guessing they are called presta. Atleast thats what the mountain bike industry calls them. They aren't the normal shrader valve stems that most wheels use. My wheels only use that kind. And I need two of them. Anyone know where to get them?

You have mountain bike wheels on your car?

If they're different than schreder valves how do you air them up at a gas station?

They have the same valve, but they mount different. Here's a pic.

with a 50 cent adapter you can put on there

that looks like a heavy duty (high pressure) schrader valve that you use for d load tires.

Try a custom wheel shop or high end tire dealer.
