Here's a dumbass question how do you remove the air valve stem cap without using needle nose pliers? and No sockets don't work as the stem cap is round!!!

You mean the cap is round, but without any textured surface to grip and twist? If so, try cutting a bicycle tire tube and wrap the cap with a small piece for grip/scratch protection and squeeze and twist with channel lock pliers. If you're talking about the actual valve core, you can get a core remover from an auto parts store very cheaply. Hope that helps, but not sure what you're really referring too...

get the tool!!!!!!!!!

ask for the orange tool and the new longer brass valve stem extention. makes it so much easier.

great wheels. i love mine. the valve stems take a bit getting used to, but they are kind of trick. it's no big deal once you get those two items.

ask them for a couple extra valve stem caps too, as there aren't many you can find that will fit in there and look right in case you lose one.
