Default Corvette Wheel Specialist

I would like to give Mike Sweeney at CWS a plug. Let me start by saying that I purchased a set of Y2K Chrome wheels that I am EXTREMELY pleased with.

However, when I had them mounted and balanced, I had four flat tires to my dismay. After giving Mike a call and explaining that I was losing air through the valve stems, he said most likely it was a problem with the rubber O-Ring seals for the pressure sensors that were the problem. He over nighted me a set and I had them the NEXT DAY! Also, keep this in mind with the sensors in the wheels that the people swapping your rims pay attention to them.

I also had a problem where I lost a chrome cap. He sent me a set of four extra.

TECH TIP - Put a little silicone on the thread of the caps, it keeps them from loosening up.
