I asked in the wheel and tire thread but what metal valve stems do yall use for the strip? I'm getting a racestar front and factory reproduction rear setup for the strip and just needs the stems to finish it.

When you buy the lug kit for those wheels they come with metal valve stems.

I'm looking at the picture of the lug kit from racestar and it doesnt look like they're the metal screw-in type that IHRA and NHRA require. I'm also just going to reuse the lugs I already have from factory reproductions so I'd need to buy at least 2 stems.

The valve stems that came with my race star lugs were rubber valve stems with a metal sleeve and cap that fit over them.

Same deal here..... Any Auto parts store will have the real metal screw type stem.

Thanks for the replies. I'm probably gonna just order some from jegs. The auto parts stores where I'm at right now dont have anything like that but I'm sure the ones back home would.
