Hey guys, I have some forged aluminum wheels that are pretty hard to come by (don't wanna give away what they are until they are on the vehicle;):D) and I was looking for valve stems for them. They came with a set of screw on like these: screw on (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM%2DG1957&N=700+4294923107+4294881093+115&autoview=sku). I installed one and don't like the way it sits on the wheel, I'm affraid it will leak. I was thinking of just going with traditional style ones with like a polished aluminum sleeve but am affraid this will look cheesey for the wheels. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thank you for your time!

I've used the screw on type also, no problems, they are actually pretty nice overall, much nicer than the standard chrome ones in my opinion.

The other problem is that the valve stem hole is on a contour so I wana make sure they will be sealing correctly. Thank you for your quick responses:thumbsup:
