Default Desmond MP / Enkei RPF1 valve stems

Trying to find a set of valve stems and seals for my Desmond Regamaster MP's. They are the same as what comes on Enkei RPF1's, i.e. the rim has a very small hole so normal stems do not work. Any tire store I've tried has never seen this style of stem and vendors that sell RPF1's want $25 per stem!

Figured there's gotta be a cheaper alternative. Any help is appreciated!

if you can find a rubber ones that works then i dont see a problem w/ it..

and those 2 sizes you mention only refer to the length of the stem. measure your existing ones. im pretty sure the majority of the time its only due to preference(look). sometime you need a longer stem to clear a multipiece wheel center.

I have regular rubber valves in my rpf1's. Never had an issue getting them to work, I wonder if my wheels are a little different.

You want to order these, the real valve stems are actually 1.50 inch long but these will work.

Edit:
These are actually closer to the right length but since there isn't a image of them I'm not sure if all the other dimensions are the same. If they are they will work.
