I'm getting a set of used phone dials, and want to have the entire valves replaced (not just the stems, the entire rubber/metal insert). Can any tire shop do it (and have it in stock), or these are some special (metric?) items?
thanks.
thanks.

my BBS's have the screw in kind. You can buy those at any NAPA IIRC, I think all BBS's had them stock, but not sure. I like these best as they look nice with polished lip wheels and blend in better than the black rubbers. Some tire chains will stock the screw in stems.

thanks. can I remove it easily? are they screwed in , and the hole in the rim is tapped, or it's a press fit?
it's interesting about this screwed-in type. I've never seen it before...

The hole is not tapped, the rubber valve fits like a grommet in a hole, comes out quite easy, if they are tricky just slice the backs off with a knife. Press-in fit for the new ones. Any tire place will do this for you, nothing special about Porsche valves.
