Ok...I've done my diligence and scoured all ends of the inter-earth, including too many phone calls, on this one.

I'm attempt to replace all my valve stems and extensions on my wheels.  I bought official Alcoa kits, as per the REP at Alcoa to be sure I got perfect matches to our rims, unique to Newells.

Problem is, the rubber Stabilizer grommets (P/N 8864 - see below) are supposedly 2.5" but they ARE NOT a tight fit!!  In fact, without doping them up with silicone, I'm guessing they'd just flop out of the hole.

Does anyone, by chance, know anything further on this silly little deal?


I've dug and dug...and this is the best info I came up with...yet...argh!!
