View Full Version : Valve stems?

Ms.D's MM needs new valve stems. Thought this would be easy, but alas so many choices. I believe they are the chrome 1 1/4" stems, but are they 30mm or 38mm? Anybody know of a brand made in the US of A? Amazon reviews of the one's they sell get mixed reviews and appear to be Chinese made. Looked at Jeg's and it costs twice as much shipping as the part itself. I imagine the stems sold at Autozone, etc. are all Chinese. What about NAPA?

Thoughts and advice is appreciated. :)

Take it to a tire place because the the tires have to be dismounted to put them on from the inside, they should have anything you need.

All the tire places here didn't stock the metal ones.

The MM rim takes a smaller diameter base metal stem, not the common larger diameter one.

I wanted SS ones. Took a while to find them, found them online by measurements - listed for a Corvette.

Get all black ones installed then put covers over them.
