[s-cars] Metal Valve Stems

List-

	I just treated the old girl and got my (stock) wheels refinished on my 
95.5 S6 while I had them off for the winter.  Getting ready to put new 
summer tires on (pretty sure going with the Conti DWS's), but I was 
thinking, while I have the wheels off and naked, I should install some 
really good, nice, valve stems.

	There seems to be a metric butt load of options out there.  Just 
wondering if there is any personal experience with brand/style of valve 
stem that work really well with the stock rims, or are they all pretty 
much the same?  I'm thinking a nice set of metal valve stems over the 
usual rubber ones.  I've run into to many issue with rubber ones 
cracking and leaking.

	I know there are folks here that track their cars, so I'm sure someone 
has already done this research!

	Thanks!

Paul.
