FYI - some of the OEM aluminum rims DO NOT allow for stardard metal valve stems (the kind with the threaded nut installation). The clearance around the valve core on the outside of the rim is too small). I ended up going with a metal valve core, but the regular pull in mount.
I then took a piece of fuel line and slipped it over the metal valve stem. It's a snug fit now and can't flop around.

Well, crap. After fiddling with the pics and trying to get them to embed directly, it's not happening for me. And I'm no newbie at this crap. Or at least I don't think I am.
Don't feel bad - its a Flickr thing.
Thanks for the tip - great idea if there is a need to reduce any flexing of the valve stem.
I just bought the TST 507 system with the 4 valve caps. They included a free 3 year extended warranty (unexpected surprise) and with free UPS it was a decent price.
Will report back to the thread with a review once I have a chance to install / use it.
