Hi. I have brought a set of Steel wheels from a 110 and when the tyres were being removed the guy commented that the Valves were 'TAXI VALVES'

Apparently they are larger holes and not available any more? I have never heard of this, can anyone confirm this or tell me its a crock of poo?

Cheers

It's a crock of ****e. I bought this couple of weeks ago to fit in a weller steel rim for the 90. But didn't need it.

Walked into the local tyre place and asked if they had any and the hopper on the machine was full of em. 50p it was.

Great, I'll pop into my local Quik fit or Nationals. Then I can get me new rims cleaned up and painted.
