<p>Thanks for the suggestions - and yes, I found that longer ones are easy to get just about anywhere (but I asked here first because I trust the collective TR mind!). And as I mentioned, I'm about to replace the tires so this will just be part of the process.</p>
<p> Cheers!<br /> Lee</p>

<div dir="auto">The best solution is to have longer valve stems installed, but that requires dismounting the wheels. </div>

<div dir="auto">The alternative you suggested should work, but my experience is they leak and often don't allow air to flow them to the shorter valve stem. It may be worth a try. Otherwise, you'll just have to remove the beauty rings whenever you check the air pressure. </div>

But the wheels are fitted with <br />standard tire valve stems - and they don't protrude beyond the cutout in <br />the trim rings. So it's almost impossible to fill the tire or use a <br />pressure gauge. (worth-1000-words photo attached)<br /><br />I'm assuming there are longer tire valve stems available? I'm looking at <br />replacing the tires, so it's a particularly convenient time to get this <br />right. I've also seen valve stem "extenders" (one of my spare wheels had <br />one of these fitted) - but this does not look like a decent alternative. <br />Suggestions?<br /><br />Thanks!<br /> Lee</blockquote>
