Where to find 90 degree valve stems?

Some idiot bend the inside of my tire stem on my weds when installing a new tire...I guess he used a pry bar to remove the old tire and some how hit the inside of the valve stem with some force...
anyway, Where can I find one locally?

They're like impossible to find locally for some reason.

Place that re-finish wheels should have them. The ones i bought from ebay did not work, and I was told that I needed a 2pc valve stem instead.

got a picture of one of them? theres a lot of differences and some JDM companies use proprietary valve stems. diameter, angle, length, and inner/outer mount all make a difference.

i had the same issue when the viton seals on my maya/trafficstar valvestems started to go, took me a solid 4-5months to find replacements that werent the $40/each+ Trafficstar wanted (plus shipping from japan).

i had success with Work valvestems :)
if you have the measurements from your own stems you can call work and they're more than willing to answer pretty much all questions (the guy i talked to even measured 3 different stems they sell to get me the best match!) and shipping is really fast.

it helps that the stems are damn cheap, like $48 for a set of 4! yes they're 2pc. i think i got the V24 or v36, i forget.
