Angry gram light valve stems

i just got wheels from vivid racing and as i was lookin at them i noticed that the valve stem is located in the middle of the wheel, about a inch inward right about were the caliper is. The center of the wheel is shaped so that it looks like theres a L-type valve stem that goes there insted of the stock rubber ones. does any one have pics of the valvestems and suggestions or knows what up? thanks andrew.

NAPA, PepBoys, RS Strauss all have metal valves in an L shape with grommets. If rubber stem clears the caliper, just use those. Long term, better off and less money.

rubber stems should be no problem. Go to an auto parts store, pop one in and test fit the wheel, its easy

The wheels should come with the valve stems. A lot of multipiece Japanese wheels use those curved valve stems.
