Gorilla Flush Mount Valve Stems

Does anyone have these installed or experience with these? I'm thinking about picking up a set of these to ensure my new BBK calipers clear. Thanks!

kinda cool, but if your valve stem is located behind the wheel spokes, won't you have to pull the wheel each time you need to check the pressure/add air?

Nah... the stems come with a filler tube adapter.. so basically when you need to check or inflate your tires you attached the this tube to each stem... yeah I know sounds like PITA to do it for every tire.. and your SOL of you lose that filler tube as well..

Won't work if you have the TPMS sensors, BTW.....never have I ever heard of a valvestem hitting the rotor or caliper. It'll clear your BBK.

These are for my DPE's. The existing valve stems are pretty long and are located inside, behind the spokes. They barely clear the BBK template I used to check for clearance. I was gonna have my shop replace them with shorties when I came across the flush mounts... I'll give them a try and I'll let you guys know how it works out!
