Brabus Roadster Monoblock VI 18" alloy wheel trouble!

[diggler]

Hello all,

I recently somehow managed to shear the valve on one of my wheels and its the screw in valves.

Dont suppose anybody knows a supplier for these valves or maybe has a spare for sale?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks Alot!

Can't help with your query, but that's a VERY RARE set of wheels you have there.
I'm sure I read that Merc have only officially imported 8 sets of those into the UK...

Have you asked at smart??

They are rare wheels - but if smart only imported 8 sets, I imported another set for them lol

When i search for the part number i just get: VENTIL RONAL VG.

I'm not sure if its the correct part and none of the sites show any pictures or even a description!

thanks for your help though!

You don't need to do an internet search - just call your local Smart/Merc dealer's parts dept and quote that number at them and ask them to order you one.

Hopefully that should see you right.

RONAL are the company that manufacture the wheels for Smart, Brabus and various other OEM brands.

The Part No was sourced from Mercedes EPC with a picture of the valve with description

Smart and Mercedes don't produce this valve anymore

any other suggestions for sourcing such a valve?

racing snake i really really hope you never have to experience this haha!

I don't have the wheels anymore, but went through a similar issue when some thieving school kid scum stole one of the valve caps - could not get a replacement cap anywhere so just had to use a set of chrome ones instead

Try contacting Ronal directly,see if they can provide the valve

Hi Diggler - Have you secured a replacement valve? You may have some luck with Alloywheelsdirect.net based in Oxfordshire if you haven't already. They sell the 18" Brabus Monoblocks for Roadsters

Out of interest, how do you find the ride and strength of the 18" version on your Roadster?
