Default Speedline valve stems?

I'm having trouble finding a valve stem to replace the one on my Speedline RG-5 wheel. No local shop in my area carry any as they are considered custom. Can anybody recommend a valve stem that would fit? They look like the one pictured.

do you know what size the hole is in the wheel? There are two size holes .33 and .44"? Those look to be the .33". The factory 3 piece 18" Speedline wheels use the larger .44" valve stems. Can you measure the size of the washer? I have some in stock in both sizes. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

No measure the broken valve stem shaft. I think those fit a .33" hole. From your picture it looks like the shaft diameter is a little over 1/4" which is why I think it is .33" . jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Unfortunately, they didn't fit as the stem hole in the wheel was too small. I guess I do need a valve stem with a 1/4" shaft. Shall I return your way?

FYI - those aren't speedlines.... You may want to start searching for Champion RG5 valve stems - try Champion directly, or Wheel Enhancement as they are a large dealer.

I believe Forgeline has smaller valve stems.

Don't laugh. I had such a problem finding replacement valve stems for my wheels. I ordered several different kinds, none worked. I happened to be in a Harley Davidson dealership and spotted some custom bike wheels. I noticed the valve stems were alloy and of high quality. I ordered some and they fit perfectly. Better yet, they were extremely well made. Going on over two years and they have never leaked.

I have a set of Porsche Hi-Po metal valve stems part# 99336107300 originally for 993 Turbo or Speedline option I believe. 1.5" long & .30" diameter stem.

I ordered these for my 2002 Carrera II wheels from Suncoast Porsche website & discovered a year later they don't fit my wheels.

I will sell these at good discount if you want to see if they fit your wheel. I'm in OC CA.
