FS: Brand New Enkei Metal Valve Stems - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

GusGus91 · 2012-10-16, 09:30 AM

I bought these a few months ago, and never got around to installing them or even opening them actually. All 4, still in package brand new! Looking for $20 on them. I cant upload pics from my phone directly to this, so I'll have to do it later or I can text you pics. Oh, and the color is blue.

Naw, theres always more things to buy. You just buy something better than you had before. haha
I bought them from rory a long time ago. But now that my wheels are Neon Lime green.. It's gonna look weird and they came with black. So I decided to sell these at half what I bought them for.

100_Percent_Juice · 2012-10-17, 03:08 PM

Sure, your wheels are neon lime green and its the valve stems that look weird. lol

rory_a · 2012-10-29, 02:38 PM

I bet the blue stems would like good on neon green.

That said, I'll buy them back if you still have them. Always good to have spares...

DAMMIT RORY! Now you're making me take the outside to put them up to the wheels to see what they look like haha

You didn't do that before you decided they wouldn't work? smfh

Hop on ebay and order up some of these in "Ocean Blue": http://www.ebay.com/itm/230711553682 - near perfect match for Enkei blue valve stems.

Do you guys autocross with metal valve stems? I made that mistake once. I would highly recommend against that. Fine for street, not so fine for hitting cones.

What happened?

Flat tire IIRC. Some of the metal stems are rigid. A cone on the lip of the wheel can break it off, where a rubber one would just bend.

Then again, it's not impossible to shear off a rubber one too on a cone, just way less likely.

Matt, was that the same incident where your car started sinking into the hot pavement when it was on the crappy screw jack? I'm pretty sure that was way back in the ROWF days!

Yeah, pretty much, that was the time. Just bad luck, a cone cracked that metal stem right off. Then, hilarity followed that.
