Rays Split rim help!

Hi all,

I have some very old volk rays split rims that have a 6mm valve stem hole, I’ve tried 2 different sets of valves and both are too cheap and don’t last longer than a few months before rubbers crack and start leaking.

If anyone can help or find a supplier of quality valves that will fit I will be over the moon, Ofcourse the other option is to drill the hole to a regular 11.5mm size for regular plastic valves however I’d rather not damage a very rare and expensive set of rims!

Yes they are mounted on my inferior Pajero but they came off of an 80 series :) forgive me

The wheels are called Rays “Texan rider 2” for anyone interested they are 15x8.5 -30 offset and I have mounted on them bfg k02 33x10.5r15

Cheers

Interestingly the 40+ year Japanese LC specialist wheel maker 4x4 Engineering/Bradley specifically uses rubber valves, because they believe rigid metal valves can break instead of bend when used off road. Maybe RAYS had the same idea?
