What is This Thing??

[rice]

i received my rims and attached to it are these things, i have two of these things, what are they for? they came in their own little sealed plastic bags, attached are images (56k come back in 10 minutes)



and the parts come off when you unscrew it, this is what they look like

that is a chrome valve stem, so you don't have to have a rubber one.

Lol, Rice I think your BS'n us again, when you unscrewed the valve cap didn't you see the air release stem in there just like whats there in your rims when you add air to your tires?....What did you think they were lug nuts? I could show that to my 6 year old and he would show me where it goes on his bike(no offence)...Your not that naive are you?...I think you should hit the library and check out some books on automobiles A-Z...just my opinion!

Give me a break, so he still couldn't tell what they were even if it didn't have a valve core?...And why would they send stems out without cores, so you would have to go out and purchase new ones?...Two rims with a hole in each one, a package with two strange looking things in it and the caps screw off...Hmmmm lets see, two holes-two strange looking things-two holes-two strange looking things-two holes-two strange looking things....Hmmmmm does part A fit into B ? Let me try....Hmmmmm it looks like it might fit....Hmmmmmm....If I turn it around it might....Hmmmm....God it does, I'm a mechanic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....I love ya Rice but damn sometimes I wonder about you...You guys here would have to have read some of his other posts to know what I'm talking about!
