Recommended Posts

got maself some ford rs 7 spoke alloys as per my suym thread, thing is they have metal valves fitted and i wondered if they are a ford fitted part or an aftermarket thing, anyone got any ideas and answers,

1. do they need replacing at every tyre change?

2. what are they called if a ford part?

3. are they any better than rubber ones?

4. can i use rubber valves in future or do these wheels have to have the metal ones fitted?

cheers for any replies. alan..

new RS7 doesn't come with a valve, as have one sitting here and it doesn't have one

 

I have 2 that have the metal valves in, as the local couldn't get one out so left it in, and its never caused a problem

 

metal also known as bolt in valves, also last longer....
