Okay, looks like I'm picking up some HEMTT wheels Tuesday to go with my 15.5R20 Michelins. The wheels I'm getting have nuts and o-rings but not valve stems. Is that something I can get locally at a big truck shop or do I need to order somewhere special?

Thanks for the help!

They are a special design and I haven't really found any suitable substitute.

I found a stem that will work. I do not have the number with me. It is a heavy equipment/forklift stem. I picked them up at a large truck tire store.

I've got a line on some, direct from the manufacturer (none on GL for a while).

Looks like they'll be approx $18/ea, but I'll have to order 1000 of them to get that price.

I have been looking for a picture of one.. I have a huge tire shop that does heavy equipment, truck tires. When i asked if they carried some ting that might work i was walked to a shelf with 60+ versions of bolt through valve stems.

Dave, I know those you show are not actually HEMTT stems, but I too thought about buying them at GL because I thought they could work as a good substitute. Have you been able to try and verify they work okay? It seems to me they could work just fine, but would be a tad long, and certainly not reversible for use on the rears. Got any pics of them installed in a wheel?

On our M35A3 I was able to use Cat grader rim stems got them from a tire shop not CAT Cat it to rich for my blood. They are a little short but we were able to get extentions for them. Hope this helps
