Mrr228 valve stem

So I bought these rims and I’m aware I need 1” stems but who are you guys purchasing from? I can’t seem to find them. Found a thread on here someone posted but another member tried those stems and said they were to wide to insert in the rim. I need at least 2 of them to clear my front roller skates. Thanks in advance

Why not try the same place that sold you the rims?

Might also try Tirerack ?

I did try the company I bought them from but they didn’t have them at this current time. I skipped tire rack and came here to get the exact 1’s that fit instead of a generic set sent out. I actually bought 22” and was informed that I would not have valve stem issues because it’s not a 20” setup.

If you're referring to the front's you'll need 1" valve stems if you have brembo calipers. Since you have 22s you might be ok.

I would just change the pads (super easy) and no more worries with clearance or dust.

MRR Wheels gave me this info and I thought the stem problem was an issue for all rims before I had contacted MRR customer service. Anyhow like I stated once before it’s not a problem with 22’s and (stock brembo’s). I’m glad I don’t have to deal with it or change pads and now we’re all more educated on this wheel since it’s like the #1 for us 5th gens.
