Default Rear Valve Stem Suggestions

I need to replace the valve stems on my rear fuchs. (The have a slow leak and tightening doesn't help.) They currently have the alloy stems that are fastened down by a nut on the top. Should I go back with these or will the standard rubber ones be fine?

I have the standard rubber and they work fine. Kind of wish I had the alloy stems like yours as my rims are brushed alloy. If you do change to rubber, you will change all four, won't you?

Mine's a mix mash right now. Rubber on the front and alloy on the rear. I'll take her in and see if they have the alloy replacements. Thanks, all.
