No worry. Borg is still in business and they ship fast. I got them a few days after ordering. They're chome plated and a little cheaper. It looks like they're the only game in town.

If you want to try extended valve stems, you need to look elsewhere. I just tried to contact "Your Tire Shop". They're out of business. You're going to have to try Borg. They're a little cheaper...

We should maintain a database of all the CW's rating them on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. I would really like to avoid any 1 or 2 star places. They don't deserve my business anyway.
