    Anyone know where I can get some of these? 7.5s and 9s are in and being prepped for paint. Turns out one of the stems is larger than the others? Would be nice to have some of these in great condition to go with what will be like new wheels.

    As a side note, how lucky can a man be to have a little woman who loves her wheels? She actually said "I am so excited!"

    Thanks Don, so far so good....

    Its a common stem...in Europe.

    Did you call TRutlands?

    A modern rubber stem "will work" but try to find these, maybe also Ricambi??
    Every Ferrari on stock rims has them.

    Use your old ones with new valves???
    I could pull some from my extra rims....

    Don't know but he totally redid a GTO a few years ago and currently has. 1928 Type 44 Bugatti with 275 on the way....will soon know. Just wondering why one size stem is larger. Year maybe?

    Is it variance in the actual stem?

    From pictures, it looks like just one is an odd size, as to the head and the sealing surface.....

    Call Algar or Classic Coach as they deal in old wheels all day long.

    Can anyone suggest a reliable source to refinish cromodora wheels? I've got some 15's that are bubbling & flaking a bit.

    Yes, I asked Warren if he would consider, he said yes, just don't be in a big hurry as he has started on the Type 44 Bugatti. Shipping will be Anderson, South Carolina. Looks like ours are going to be gorgeous.

    Valve stems ordered. Pm me if you need his contact; I am sure you know that you pay for the best. These were just sprayed, and will tone down as they dry and harden.

    Good day Juan,

    Your rims look fantastic!

    Can I ask where you sourced your valve stems? I will be refinishing my rims and I will no doubt be needing new stems.

    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers,

    Sam
