Wheels / Tires: steel valve stems

[jif988]

I'm replacing my original 64 Avanti wheels with aftermarket 15x6 rims...but having trouble finding steel valve stems long enough to clear the hubcaps...looks like 1-3/4 inch or 2 inch would work...does anyone know of a source, part number, etc. that would help find fittings that will work? The hole in the wheel for the valve stem is the standard 0.453 diameter.....thanks...Lance

I bought mine at NAPA for my after market rims.

See my post #10 at http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...covers-hubcaps. I've got them on my '62 GT Hawk and they work great!
