Default Kinesis wheels - valve stems

I know this has sort of been discussed, but it was a while ago.
I have Kinesis K5 wheels (mid-1990s ?) that I need either new valve stems or just the seals. They are leaking like a sieve right now at the base of the stem.

What works? Replace the seal or the whole thing?

Also.... I've contacted Kinesis, but so far no reply.

Kinesis was bought out and isn't much help. I refurbed some Kinesis K27's with Thacher's help for wheel bolt parts. I'm not sure what size valve stems your wheels are, but my K27's required 3 piece motorcycle valve stems... I found a set on eBay. PM me if you need the link. Thatcher is a huge help though- here's his link.
