I just ordered and received my set of 15x6.5 +45 Bronze MF10s. I noticed that the King Motorsports website shows the MF10 with a valve stem on it as shown in this picture:



My MF10s did not arrive with valve stems. Are MF10s suppose to come with these valve stems? If not, are they sold separately? If they are sold separately, where can I buy them?

UPDATE: My wheels did come with valve stems. They are in a small brown box on the bottom of the big brown box.

if i could afford some, i would love to add some input. Im rollin' stockies!

 

I would hope that they would come with valve stems...but better question, i had no idea they made 15" with 5 lug...how much do those ******* weigh?

 

OMG...just looked at kingmotorsports and saw them...i had never seen them before...$450 a piece, how much do they weigh?????

 

No wheels come with valve stems. Some retails provide them with the cost of the wheel or charge like an extra $1 a piece for them. Any local tire place will have them.

Wow, wrong.

All the brand new wheels I bought from Japan, included valve stems. SSR, Rays, Hart, + many others.

Not sure where you got your info.

 

My rays gram lights came with alluminum valve stems and so did my Mugen M5's.

 

My gram lights also came with valve stem.

According to this post, they weigh 10.1 lbs:

I have not personally weighed mine because my bathroom scale is low on batteries and wouldn't generate an accurate reading.

 

How many have a +50 offset

 

my works came with valve stems also

 

There is an aluminum valve stem - but it throws off the weight of the wheel - b/c there is a metal nut that holds the stem in place on the inside of the rim.

I highly recommend plastic ones - besides no one will steal them anyways

 

I would contact King Motorsports about it, but thats just me.

You're right, I obviously can't possibly know what I'm talking about. You placed one order "from Japan" and got valve stems. I actually thought H-T needed some more false info on it so I made the post.

 

Shut up.... He never said one. Dont get mad because you are wrong.

 

Mine came with black anodized mugen valve stems.

 

Mugen MF-Series come with Valve stems. You got jacked

Sorry.

Look. I was a sales rep for the biggest wheel and tire store in my area when I got out high school. We had accounts with hundreds of wheel and tire companies (Volk/Rays, Momo, RH, Giovanni, Neeper, you name it...). The only time we got shipments of wheels that included valve stems was either: a) customer ordered them specifically, b) the higher end wheels sometimes come with their own custom valve stem cover and cap to match the wheel. That was it. We had boxes full of valve stems in our warehouse because of this. So unless nearly every major wheel manufacturer had some kind of conspiracy to try and run my shop slowly out of business by not supplying us with valve stems, orders we placed never came with them. That's why I said the retailer usually includes the stems. Why the hell this is a big enough matter to hijack EricUSC's thread, who knows. (I probably spelled a word wrong or used poor grammer somewhere in this post. Maybe someone can take the time to point that out too.)

Like I said before, EricUSC's wheels didn't come from Mugen with valve stems and obviously King either forget to supply them as part of the order, or they only send them if they are specifically ordered. He can go to any tire store and either get them for free when his tires are mounted or somewhere in the vicinity of $1.00 each.

Ditto. The aluminum ones looks much better, but have a tendency to leak air more often than the un-bling rubber/plastic valve stems.

Need some help getting your size 7 womens shoe out of your mouth?

 

plastic caps melt too fast

 

My TE-37's (2 sets ordered at 2 different times) came with Aluminium Valve stems that are locked down by a nut. This is direct from Japan.

 

Instead of asking us what we think, why don't you pick up the phone and ask King Motorsports if valve stems are supposed to be included with the wheels?

Nope. Just got them out and all cleaned up. Tell your mom thanks and sorry I kept them for so long
