BBS RM pump adapter

hi guys dont know where to post this sorry if it needs to be moved

just wondering i have some bbs rm alloys but one is flat and i dont have a clue how to pump it up   i found the valve and im guessing its just an adapter i need for the pump
 :dontknow:

any one know

eather take the wheel to the petrol station put 20p in the machine that says air put the gun thing on the valve and press the triger. or if its on the car have you got a foot pump or a bike pump same thing just takes longer

Are you saying that it has some kind of non-standard valve on it?

not being funny but are there any other kind of valves  :dontknow:

As far as I know, no, not for cars at least, but there's 3 different ones for bicycles. I was possibly thinking, that there might be some kind of special slimline thing, into which an adapter might be screwed into, but I've personally never seen one.

The other alternative is that somehow it was misfitted or has broken, leaving an unrecognisable fitting in/on the wheel?

I was giving the benefit of the doubt to the poster, in that if it were a normal car tyre valve, it would be a non-issue.

im not stupid i know how to pump a wheel up
just they dont have standard valves
and no the petrol station pump wont pump it nor will a foot pump or a battery operated air pump they are not standard valves they are weird they need an adaptor was just hoping soneone would know

I think everyone else's BBS RMs have standard valves though. That or nobody with them, has enlightened you and posted into this thread…..

Do you have any (close up) pics? It might be a valve compatible with a slimline valve on a racing cycle's wheel/tyre. After all, compressed air is the same whatever its going into.

i'm guessing someone has fitted something like this

can you get some piccies please.

it will not be a presta fitting they are not suitable for car tyres. it will be a flush fitted or similer.
