I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Image Note the valve stem. It's not the rubber type, it has inner and outer o-rings, a retainer washer inside and then two nuts that lock. When installed it's rigid, not like a "normal" valve stem which you can push around.

It's cool, but there's zero info on how they work. No instructions with the wheel, nothing online. I should probably MS Paint an instructional diagram.

just make sure the rubber is seated in the inside of the lip and put all the nuts on the outside most likey. thats how enkie, works, and volks do it.

i thought you had enkies wtf is your problem.

My wheels also have the same valvestem setup. I guess its a japanese thing or something, havent seen them in the states. I guess its quantity over quality in this country.

I've never encountered that before.
Looking at it it's fairly straight forward, but I'm a "better safe than sorry" sort of guy, so I went on the search for information supporting my idea.

I was also curious about torque specs, but, yeah, none.

SSR's have the same stem set-up. Snug the nut finger tight then go a full turn with a socket and your good to go.
