dual valve stem rims

[Nayov]

Well, this a first to me and my co-worker: A valve stem both on the inner and outer parts of the rim.
google sez it's to purge out the air when filling with nitrogen. Huh, learn something everyday. Was on a Mercedes GLK 350. Aftermarket.

One is for the winter air . I'm curious too.

Cool, twice as many to leak!

And to catch on the calipers since not much clearance room on many vehicles.

German engineering. If one part will work two parts are twice as good.

Sometime wheels are made that way due to the offset/ reverse mount. use the inner valve stem for the TPMS sensor.

It's inspired by race wheels, which come with 2 valves, indeed for purging.

Any idea what make and model the wheels are? Probably not cheap

I had a set of Enkei rims that had 2 valve stems too. Never used them tho.
