    Ok guys & girls,

    Just wondered people's views on these over the standard rubber valves?

    I see quite a lot of the aftermarket wheels like to use them.

    These are the one's I am looking at:

    Remal,

    Do you know what make the metal valves were?

    These are Bridgeport (Italian made).

    Bridgeport are very good, they are used by all major wheel manufactures like OZ, March etc...
