    wow, thats exactly what i was thinking. But i thought it would be hard because the stems are too close to each other.

    my guess is that one you fill the tire with and the other you screw on an actual gauge and watch your pressure, some of those pressure gauges aren't very accurate.

    Yeah, I was thinking it had to be something with nitrogen, but I'm not sure.

    maybe so.. but every other wheel has them inside or on 1 valve stem.. I think its either a JDM thing or a way to bead them quicker with 2 hoses???

    It could also be a way to equalize pressure between multiple tires, but that could be very easily accomplished without dual stems.

    From enkei website...

    THE NTO3+M ALSO FEATURES A RACING TWIN VALVE DESIGN WHICH ALLOWS FOR ACCURATE MONITORING WHILE ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE. ALL WHEEL WEIGHTS ARE ESTIMATED.

    Maybe the tire shop ran out of wheel weights and started adding extra stems to balance the wheels. The other wheel might have like four extra stems on it. :laugh:
