- Thread starter 8Daytona8
- Start date
Can't wait to see. Do they come in black? Pain in the azz to check and change pressure with factory setup.
I just got back from riding around in the smug/heat here today
Man its hot!! Feels like 80 at least. I could hardly bear to keep my summer perforated Joe on!
Anyway i wound up with rubber base, metal chrome looking ones from Zuki shop $3.45 + tx ea 45deg cause all but one place i went to said valve stems aren't made to be used past the tire change out? and even then no more than 3 years old in this climate
The all metal with nuts on back is only recommended for race applications where psi and temps could be excessive! Tire technician there said they fail more than the regular rubber ones cause they are centrifugally stressed and will leak during long trips Geez
Hey i'm gona post as i go with the chrome rim/tires.
A day in the garage tinkerin.... Give me your opinion. And don't burn your retina's with my reflectors.
As if you care! I'm posting anyway. What do you think of the chrome wheels? I'm kinda up in the air over them. It just doesn't do much on my blue and silver. Can't change the color cause it won't be the fastest anymore. I like the candy chrome i saw on the sportschrome and other sites. The angled valve stem takes a bit of finessing to get in the hole its tight. Abit of armor all with a box end wrench to pry/pull it thru worked though. That was the hardest of the task today! other than pumpin with a cheap bicycle pump to 50psi to set bead.

I think the chrome and blue goes perfectly together !
Heres my first Busa when I was younger and didn't know the grey and silver Busa was the fastiest color.
Dude! Did you want to post a pic of the stem or that <span style='font-size:13pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:orangered'>NO CHICKEN STRIP BLISTERED TIRE</span></span>(Powers739 @ Dec. 02 2006,18:23) I put the straight metal double nutted ones on mine, with a little tread locker. I ordered them off the internet. I put them on the last time I changed the tires.

Sorry for the thread jacking, but I just noticed the difference between the 8Daytona8's TRS Can and mine, his has TRS on the tag and mine doesn't have "TRS" on it. I was just wondering why the difference?
