Yes, the good 'ol rubber stems would work fine. But then theirs the issue of stem flex at speed, requiring support tabs, blah, blah, blah, and the further you dig, most recommend metal stems.


If you dig deeper, the really cool guys use alloy stems


So, after searching through the major suppliers (Myers Tire Supply, Dill) I found what I wanted, but with a 100 piece minimum...


Haltec H-523MS Light Alloy Valve Stem



After a bit more Google Fuing I struck gold

https://tiresupplynetwork.com/collections/metal-valve-stems/products/h-523ms-light-alloy-valve-stem

No minimum and Free shipping over $25. Yes Please!!!

Prepare to feast your eyes -







Now if I can just find some decent tire weights
Me llikey. When I click the link, the pics look shiny silver versus the matte / anodized finish in your pics. I'm all about the matte finish. That's just what came when you ordered?

Do you think they'll fit in these 9" Fuchs Evos?...
