Any good tyre fitting company should be able to order them for you with no problem.

Did you find a supplier for this type of valve at all? This was the best I could find (really helpful guy too - only one who could find wheel nuts for my Racing sparco wheels)

"Hi Mark,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, these are tricky little buggers to get hold of!! Most people who list them, don't stock them and the ones that do charge so much you could buy two 1st class tickets to China to pick some up!!

The best price I could find a set for was £80 delivered (inc VAT). The dimensions are 6mm (hole size) & 71m long.

I can get these over to you this week if you want to go ahead.

Regards,

"Please contact PANG (UK) LIMITED which is our representative in UK"

Yep, £80 :shock:

So i fitted standard metal valves - but it's a right PITA as to properly check pressures / pump up the wheel has to come off :roll:

Never found a cheaper solution. Bought a right-angled adaptor from eBay but you lose most of the air screwing it on!

Give coordsport a call, they sourced me some right angle values for my Volk GT-C wheels which look a lot like the valve you posted. £50 for a set tho :shock:
