skatz114 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Evening all. As in the title, I'm having my wheels powder-coated in the next few weeks & I'm toying with the idea of these valves. I like the thought of a smoother look on the wheels but just wondered if they're a pain to use or if there's any other problems I need to be aware of.

Serratia Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 If you like to keep an eye on your tyre pressures they are extremely fiddly to get the tyre pressure gauge on even if you can find one that will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMMellor Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I've had a set on my O.Z.'s for years and had no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleario Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I had a set on my Mercedes wheels on my Astra and on my white 18's on the Celica without any problems. But it does make checking the pressure a little fiddly as you have to screw unscrew the chrome cover with 2p and then screw the normal valve into it so you can use any old tyre gauge.

princy Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Got the Richbrook ones on mine and had no trouble whatsoever, a little fiddly but well worth the trouble to stop little gobshites having away with my caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowchinaman Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have them now. Doesnt bother me since I check my pressure about every 2 month along with my other routine checks on the rest of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINY Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 like said i found them a pain in the arse when checking or blowing up tyres, i went for some nice looking alloy short valves in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
