193 M Sport Wheel Valves

jumpsuit · 10-09-2011, 09:01 AM

Ive got a set of Genuine wheels that i,m going to use as my winters.

Problem is they came without valves fitted and i seem to recall reading somewhere on here (yes tried search) that a Guy was in same position as me and was ordering some new valves from BMW ?

Does this mean that the valves are specific to the 193M wheel or will any valve my tyre guy has fit ?

Anybody had to replace a valve have any ideas ? Really rather know in advance before my tyre guy floggs any old valve in with a rubber mallet :-)

Looking at mine, they are just "any old valve".

And they don't hit them in with a mallet (rubber or otherwise), they are pulled through from the inside with a proper tool!!

Cheers for that, will take them in for their winters tomorrow.

I was only joking about my tyre guy. He,s an absolute star and very particular. He rolls his eyes everytime i bring him more runflats, takes 30min to change them making sure he doesn,t mark the rims then only asked for £3 a corner.

I give him a Fiver each after pointing out that he had just put £2 worth of balancing weights on each rim. Proper gent

Yeah, that post threw me too but after checking they're nothing special. You can even buy the exact same chrome valve capes from Halfords
