Your wheels look awesome and I really like the chrome valve stem concept. Is there any chance of finding a chrome valve stem that isnt quite so large? I would want it to be a little more subtle.

Actually guys the stem is the same size as stock, the chrome cover for the stem is too long and doesnt allow the skull caps to go but a few threads.. I will shorten it down and then put the skull cap back on and then take a new photo.. it is quite a bit shorter then.

I love those wheels!
My HRE valve stem is so short which you hardly see.
When I wanna pump it up, I gotta use an extension which I got from Pep boys.
I think vetterdstr just put the extension since he wants everything long
