Fuchs Jewelry

Ok, I admit it. I'm OCD when it comes to hardware. I have a new set of Fuchs heading my way and I'm obsessing about the details, specifically the tire stems.


Yes, the good 'ol rubber stems would work fine. But then theirs the issue of stem flex at speed, requiring support tabs, blah, blah, blah, and the further you dig, most recommend metal stems.


If you dig deeper, the really cool guys use alloy stems


So, after searching through the major suppliers (Myers Tire Supply, Dill) I found what I wanted, but with a 100 piece minimum...


Haltec H-523MS Light Alloy Valve Stem



After a bit more Google Fuing I struck gold

https://tiresupplynetwork.com/collections/metal-valve-stems/products/h-523ms-light-alloy-valve-stem

No minimum and Free shipping over $25. Yes Please!!!

Prepare to feast your eyes -







Now if I can just find some decent tire weights
