Volk ce28n help!!

hey guys I came out to my car this morning and both my driver side front and rear tires looked low. So I took the valvstem caps off to check the pressure and air is shooting out. I played with the pin a little and the air won't stop. I'm leaving for vacation for a week am I gonna come home to bent rims? Anybody recommend any tire shops in central jersey area ?

It seems to be your valve insert. I had the same problem on my Gram Lights.
Buy a valve tool and screw in the valve insert tighter or just replace it all together.
You can get a kit in stores like Pepboys for like $5-10.
Otherwise, where in CNJ are you? PM me.

Even with some needle nose pliers should be enough to turn the thing inside and tighten it (incase u need the car) Happened to my CE28's too once and just tightened it and no more problems, you should get a tool though and make sure you tighten it good.

Once you tighten them they will be fine. Your CE28s will not get bent from the tires losing their air. Now if you go driving over curbs with no air in the tires, its a different story .
