So not really a fan of the rubber valve stems on the wheels. Has anyone successfully used high pressure steel valve stems? No issues with balancing?

Thank you in advance

I didn't have luck when I was using the bad weather search but from Google I did find an old posting someone from a tire shop had PM wheels and they found some short steel ones that worked I've even seen fancy 90-degree ones online but that's too much to fail for me

I put steel ones in my PM wheels. so I could run tire pressure sensors that work with my GPS.

The steel ones tended to leak. I went back to rubber, leaks went away, but now I can't run tire pressure sensors.

I have a theory that any given tire shop will never have a matching set of valve stems. You’ll all ways end up with two odd ones on a bike or 3 of one type on your car and one odd ball.
