OZ Racing wheel - circa 1999 - threaded valve....

[coozee]

I have an old set of OZ Racing wheels that finally need new valve due to small leak.
The 'experts' at the local tire shop claim they have never seen such a valve in their 20+ years in the biz.
They called around to all the parts suppliers in the area, but the parts suppliers just show up w/ off-the-shelf bolt-on style valves.
These wheels have threaded valve opening so require a valve that directly screws into the wheel.
Any help here is much appreciated.
OZ says, 'sorry, wheel is discontinued'.

will add pix when i can.

thanks

that's got to be the smallest picture ever....LOL

I'll show it to our wheel guys Monday morning and see if that is enough to work with

[coozee]

anyone have any info on this / opinions / suggestions??
i can't believe that i am the only one that has ever needed to replace this valve on OZ wheels.

[Doc@tirerack]

Much better, I'll see what we can come up with

[Doc@tirerack]

We don't have a direct replacement for that. If you can post pictures of the wheel and any part numbers off the back we can take an educated guess...

other stamped alphanumeric's on back-side of wheels:
'Made in Italy - AS-7'
'TYP 001-60'
'70600001'

Since i did not receive any suggestions, I went ahead and used a standard off-the-shelf 1/8 NPT tank valve.
Works fine, no leaks.
