Subject: [6pack] Tire valve stems - TR6 original wheels

I've just switched from wire wheels to original TR6 wheels, although 
with aftermarket chrome trim rings. But the wheels are fitted with 
standard tire valve stems - and they don't protrude beyond the cutout in 
the trim rings. So it's almost impossible to fill the tire or use a 
pressure gauge. (worth-1000-words photo attached)

I'm assuming there are longer tire valve stems available? I'm looking at 
replacing the tires, so it's a particularly convenient time to get this 
right. I've also seen valve stem "extenders" (one of my spare wheels had 
one of these fitted) - but this does not look like a decent alternative. 
Suggestions?

Thanks!
  Lee

Hi Lee,

The best solution is to have longer valve stems installed, but that
requires dismounting the wheels.

The alternative you suggested should work, but my experience is they leak
and often don=E2=80=99t allow air to flow them to the shorter valve stem. I=
t may be
worth a try. Otherwise, you=E2=80=99ll just have to remove the beauty rings
whenever you check the air pressure.

Something like this work to check pressure, or is it too far in there to
get the cap off?

Thanks for the suggestions - and yes, I found that longer ones are easy 
to get just about anywhere (but I asked here first because I trust the 
collective TR mind!). And as I mentioned, I'm about to replace the tires 
so this will just be part of the process.

  Cheers!

> why would you switch to TR6 stock wheels?

Easy answer - I really like the look of the original design. And for me, 
the best look is with the original aluminum trim rings - beautiful. I'm 
currently using aftermarket chrome rings, because I only have three 
aluminum ones in good condition (and one or two that are beat up). And I 
just switched to these original wheels from wires that I had on for the 
last several years. Now --- talk about wheels that are "not very good" 
!! I'm really glad to be done with those.

There are also several nice aftermarket wheels that I like. I happen to 
have a second TR6 (hasn't run in a long time!) that's going to need a 
nice set of wheel, I keep an eye on what's available pretty often.

Enjoy the ride!
