Enkei Wheel Woes

One of the valves on my Enkei RPO-1's has become damaged. I tried using a valve stem extractor, but the brass is wedged in there. After removing the stem, my local shop noticed that it's a very odd size. The base of the stem is ~14 mm (0.55") whereas normal valve stems are ~20mm (0.79") at the base.

I called Discount Tire Direct, Enkei International, and Tire Rack, all of whom told me: "We know exactly what you are talking about, but we have no idea where to get that."

Does anyone know who may have such an item, or does anyone possibly have a mangled RPO-1 that would be willing to part with its' stem? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
