Don't hate because my car looks way better than your GT500 wannabe.

Haha, it's all good. It's a freak thing. The valve just happened to be long enough and aligned with the sway bar mount in order to nick the end of the stem off to cause a leak. I went with the long ones at first thinking it would be okay until I could get the panhard on there since I don't drive the car often enough. But I guess the circular freeway onramp made it move just enough to break it. lol.

It's all good, it's fixed now.

Long valve stems? Are you running TPMS?

I was, until the stem broke. For now I don't have any sensors in the rears but Sean at Truestreet told me a way to make it work that they used on the Vettes when he worked at LG Motorsports. Once I try that I will report back with you guys how it works.

Good to see you made it over here Danny! Make sure you make a intro thread with some pics of your car.

Yeah, you can just shove them into a PVC tube and forget about them, but frankly I'd rather know that my $300/ea tires are losing pressure.

Do yours work on your car?

Yes they do. When I bought my wheels, they had the '05-10 TPMS in there and I drove around for 12k miles just pushing that little fucking button every time I got in the car. Maddening. So I bought a set of new ones off ebay when I replaced the tires, and that was the best $125 I have ever spent.
