So, my S2Rs are going in for refurbishing so I was removing the valve stems and noticed that the rubber seals are pretty dry and rotting. Anyone know if I can just buy new seals for the valve stems or do I need to buy new stems?

 

Anybody?

 

Assuming the stems are straight and not corroded, new seals will be all you should need.

 

bump for s2r's! my set comes in the mail this friday! what are the specs on yours?

but to answer your question, you can just replace the seal. go to any tire store, they have plenty of different seals for the cars with TPMS. you could probably just re-use one of those...

 

Just picked mine up from powdercoat today. I'm running safe sizes/offsets mine are 18x8 52 front and 18x9 60 rear. I was running 63 offset for the rear but destroyed those and got a smokin deal on these rears.

I used every local car connection I had today (discount tire, Big O, tuner shop) to find these damn seals and finally found some on the other side of town. I really didn't think it was going to be this difficult to find.

What color S2R are you getting?

 

mines were already powder coated gunmetal by the previous owner, but im thinking of just getting the lips polished. or maybe the whole thing? dont know yet...
