    Since I'll be cleaning up my bead surface on my rim to hopefully solve a tire leak, I'd like to replace the valve stems as well. A quick search on Advance's pages reveals many different sizes. I can't just remove them, and go to the parts store to compare cause you know, I need them to drive on. Anybody know which size is appropriate for my stock GP aluminum rims?
    These are the search results:

    Any help or advice on how to find out is appreciated.

    Measure the length of your existing one, and get the same length. There are typically two diameters. Most automotive wheels use the smaller (.435" iirc).

    The ones we use at work are just over an inch long for cars.
