Problem with Fuel Wheels

[Capt-Zoom]

My GF recently put fuel wheels on her JK and JL. The valve stems are coming out as we drive causing flats. Anybody had this issue? Its happend twice where the valve stem fell all the way into the tire, once 2 weeks ago and again yesterday. So yesterday I change the one tire with the spare...then the other rear gets a slow leak at the valve stem 5 min down the road. Don't have 2 spares so I grab a plyers and pull the stem out more...probably a quarter inch, fill her up and we drive a cautious hour home. WTF is with these wheels and stems.

Never heard this. I have Vapor Fuel Wheels with inside and outside Stems with no issue. My dealer installed mine when my Jeep came in.

Falling inside tire sounds like they are not pulled out enough to seat Them.

Exactly. This is the 3rd time now. Taking back again to have it worked on. Want to see if they can install locking ones...like motorcycles have there there is a nut on the valve stem. Plus I'd like to get them with a 90 bend in them

Sounds like you have the wrong size valve stems.
