those need to be installed before the tire is mounted to the wheel.

Yeah. Those look like the blue ones that come with Koseis.

Take it to a tire store and have them do it for you.

(I used to work in a tire store in high school, so I'll break it down for you.)

1. The tire needs to be deflated, usually this involves ripping part of the valvestem off (They can unscrew the valve on the inside too).
2. The tire need to come off of the rim. The have a special machine that does this. Do not try this at home, unless your drunk.
3. The remains of the old valvestem are pushed out and a new valvestem in pushed in, from behind the rim, and then pryed into place with a special tool.
4. The tire is put back on, and is re-inflated.

It's easy for a shop to do it, and it might cost you 10 dollars a tire.

Well what is up with the blue kosei valve stems?? How did you get yours adjusted properly? It took me 20 min to put 10lbs of air in the tire with a 110psi tank..

don't do it right now, wait till you have to rotate and balance your tires, so you do all of it at once

when the f22b1, f23 series goes into VTEC, the engine matches frequences with the stock valve stems and the resonance that exists rattles the stock valve stems out cause tire leaks. These have an insulating layer in them to prevent this.
