Default Need new enkei rpf1 valve stem gasket

Hi,
My valve stem is leaking air.

I need to buy a new gasket. Anyone know where I can get just the gasket. I'm having a har time finding it.




All I could find was they're called "grommets, but still can't find the grommet for sale.

I would swap it out for a standard one. Then take yours to whatever hardware stores near you and try and match it.

I bet a tireshop would have it. Check out America's Tire, they sell a lot of aftermarket wheels.

He doesn't want to spend all his small claims winnings on some new valve stems.

Can you believe they don't have it?
Anyway, here's what I did. I bought a complete set on ebay for like 7 bucks
I'll just use the gaskets. The diameter you need the gasket to be is ~.45"

I'll shop for more gaskets comfortably so I can use the ebay stems on my rotas. But from what I'm seeing, just get stem kits off ebay from china for 9 bucks.

I got lucky and these are coming from the next city over,

These came from Oakland for 7.00 bucks I'll post the link. I already received them.
Hope they work.

Worked well. I can't say why the gasket failed on this one?
