That looks like it could work.
The problems I have with the ready-made variety are the length of the stem and the configuration of the bottom.
I could use the Drimmel to shape the bottom, I presume, but I don't know if the material they are made of would shape as well as my water-pipe specials. I don't have a flat surface on my wheels at the bottom of the stems, so I need to reshape to make the stem fit securely.
So, I didn't reinvent the wheel, just the wheel stem covers.

The covers are made to fit standard length valve stems. As long as the cover contacts the rim on the circumference of the wheel, the stem would be stabilized against the centrifugal forces that could potentially distort the rubber stem due to the extra 1/2 ounce or so of the sensor.
