It all depends... Some do, some don't. Solid stems are cool, and opinions vary, but I think they are well suited for the street. They should just be checked every time you change wheels for good/soft seals/washers.

Some racers say the rubber stems are bad because they can get cut/torn out with a little rubbing... I think anything that can hurt a rubber one is just as likely to bend/deform the solid ones...

My race wheels have rubber because the get changed every set of tires. I like the look of the matching Lugs and stems eric and others have...

That's why I'm looking for red ones, or at least silver for the RPF1s...

I'll bring them tonight...
