but surely the rubber ones are just rubber coated and have a solid flange inside ??..
Its not that simple see as as the G's on it increase its not the clear if strenth of mass it the cause the drama .. ..
an 18" wheel would have the valve stem spinng a 8 " radius mmm how many G is that ??
I would prefer radal mount ones to ones at 45 degrees.. that way they are pushed back in to the rim ..

I have to say I'm loving the fact that my BBS wheels have metal stems. I never have to check the air pressure on my tires - they hold pressure perfectly. Its gotten to the point where I check the pressure every couple of months and it never changed for the two years I've been checking.

I don't think doing dyno pulls on a 930 in 4th gear is a very good idea. 4th is an overdrive (as is 3rd) but 3rd is much closer to a 1:1 ratio, the wheel speed is also lower in 3rd and therefore safer.
Stock 930s had valve stem supports on the Fuchs to prevent this from happening.
