would like to get some feedback on metal vs. rubber valve stems - had my enforcer wheels chromed on a 2016 roadglide and after a couple of thousand miles developed a very small leak coming from the valve stem, so trying to decide if I should replace it with metal or the stock rubber ones -I'm guessing tat the metal ones would seal better because of the rubber grommet but not sure - that's why I'm looking for some experiences as well as feedback - if you recommend a metal on please let me know where to buy it - thanks
I use the stock rubber stems on the Enforcer wheels, suspect a spot of chrome that might need touched up with some emery cloth. The VS-1218-R Dill is my favorite metal valve stem, but have not used them on the Enforcer wheels.
I was going to use metal but the shop I go to said that he hasn't had good luck with them. Tend to leak.

I like these for the rear. As mentioned. Make sure hole is deburred. Sorry for the price display. Was on package.
I use have used right angle metal T stems for years, super convenient & have had no problems with them.
These go great with my FOBO TPS system.

I ran the 90° metal on the rear of my 2015 RG, no problems, still on the bike when I sold it last year. Sure made checking and adding air a lot easier.
When using a rubber stem, be sure it is not too long or will not flex under centrifugal force and come in contact with a brake caliper (or anything else). It can get ugly at high speed.
would like to confirm the size valve stem hole for the enforcer wheels is .453"?
