Replacing tow vehicles tire rubber valve stems with steel?

My Chev Equinox has the rubber stems, and I use screw on TPMS sensors. The only problem I had is that they stick out beyond the rim; therefore, when I go through a carwash I have to take them off. Also, one time I clipped a high curb and broke the valve stem. Instant flat tire, but I was in a Walmart lot and they replaced with a metal stem. It was not TPMS.
