19" Montreal BBS Wheels

Morning,
I have a 100 and, avoiding an oncoming car overtaking a cyclist here in CH, destroyed my near side wheel trims.
As these aren't available to replace I split the rim and sanded and polished the wheel drum behind.
The result was satisfactory. I put in a new valve but didn't have an o ring for the hollow bolt, so I made one with silicone tubing we had kicking around the model shop. The old one had perished.
Anyway, the wheel has been leaking air. It's been getting worse. I'm topping up every day now.
I have contacted SB Wheels for replacement o-ring, they say they don't supply them and also don't seem to want to tell me the size of the ring so I can source elsewhere. (I've emailed many many times).
I was hoping someone here would know the correct size, or indeed, somewhere to source a few so I can remove the hollow bolt and have another go.
Cheers,
- Richard
