Default leads wanted; re: metal valve stems...

This is a valve stem that came w/ my Kinesis wheels, It fits great and looks great, but the gaskets are getting old and leaky(as you can see).


Soo I'd like to replace the gaskets or replace the whole valve stem w/ identical units, small chamfered base, no external nut.

All the ones I seem to find these days are like this, a little larger base & external nut


Any leads on the original are greatly appreciated

If this is what you are looking for, PM your address, I don’t need them anymore.. You are welcome to them.

Bill:

if jscott82's don't work I have a brand new never used set of OEM Porsche metal valve stems. They look longer than the ones pictured above, but it may fit what you need.

Fikse uses Alligator valve stems.
They make them in different hole diameters:

The Enki stems at Meyers look like they would work too,

Thanks!

Bill, thanks for starting this thread. I need to replace my valve stems as well. The thin one is for my OZ techart wheels. The fat one is for Speedline wheels.
