Elite wheel owners, please help me!!

[slidestyle69]

I have a set of elite wheels and i just got around to putting them on the car and one of the valve stems broke and i am having a nightmare trying to find a valve stem that works.

The valve stem is a bolt in type and i have been to every parts house and every tire and wheel shop in my town and nobody has seen anything like it

so if anybody reads this and has had this problem also, please let me know what you did.

LOL wut?

What kind of wheels are those? I think they might be some new Rotas or more like sprotmaxx but im not sure. There should be a sticker or something that tells you who manufactured them.

Maybe you should give the manufacturer a call.

Maybe you should give the manufacturer a call.

this. call up elite, or someone who sells elite wheels and go from there.

I have bolt in valve stems at work. They are mainly used for big trucks, and heavy haulers.

Try a truck shop, or diesel repair facility.

They're Work knock-offs. Phase2 sold them a while ago.Ask them.

Lol... No. For your education:zer...age=1

Yeah OP, call Phase2 about it...

I know that Work and Rays both sell replacement/optional bolt-in valve stems for about $15-20 a piece. I don't know that they would fit for sure, but it might be worth a shot.

[slidestyle69]

I called phase2 and they didnt have any stems for them anymore but they told me about another place that stocked them and i ordered some.

The friggin stem..just 1 stem was $20 bucks, It better work or i'm gonna be a very upset person!

thank you all for your advice.

^^^ That blows! I guess you could out those places FlatBlackIan was talking about... maybe you'll find a lower price...

Yeah i faced plamed after a realized the wheel was called Elite...

Look like a decent wheel. Offsets are good. I wonder how heavy they are though... And WTF they don't have anymore valve stems? That's why knockoff's are the ghey.

[simmode1]

^^^I wouldn't go that far... the reason valve stems are hard to find is because the wheel was discontinued, not because the wheel is a replica.

And if I remember correctly, the wheels were of decent wieght... about 21 lbs, I think.

heck yea man, i searched summits web page and I ordered the exact same ones except they had a set of 5 for 18.95 over the 18.95 for just one that i ordered lol

My DD broke down yesterday and i have to get the 240 rolling so i can drive it so i impulsively bought the first thing i found instead of researching but i would never think to check summit racing for my 240, just great haha

[yoki-yoki]

yeah me neither but when it was my last resort i went up there and talk to the guy and he help me out and sure thing the had what i was lookin for.

Glad i could help next time u need them get it from there and shipping is fast just make sure u get the right size belive me u will break another one i bought the 5 pk and i have one left so that tells u how easy they are to be broken.

[slidestyle69]

yea as soon as i took the tire off, the stem broke instantly, its like when somebody is saving up for tires for an event..i am saving up for valve stems

[yoki-yoki]

im glad ur finally getting around to getting them on im the one that sold them to u

[slidestyle69]
