About to paint Sport 17s and put new nittos, good time to replace valve stems?

[LS6_5SPD]

Im about to finally install the goodies Ive been buying for my LS, I will paint the wheels before i put the tires on I want to replace the valve stems but I dont know what exactly to look for. I searched on ebay and there's a billion of em, but they are different diameters and height. I want them as close to flush as possible.

Does anyone know the 1st GEN Sport 17 wheel stem's specs or where to find them?

Im searching on ebay.. thing is I want the good ones! not the rubber one they usually have at the shop. Plus, my brother is mounting and balancing them for me.. so Im not going to a shop other than his where they only have the regular rubber ones.
Im looking on ebay for the VOLK aluminum forged stems, but I dont know if they'll fit or not.

They make chrome sleeves that go over the rubber stems. I have those on right now, and no complaints.

I guess Im just picky with my car.. I want those forged so bad ! the thing is they r anodized red, blue, gm, and black, and after a couple of washed with degreaser they start loosing the color n begin to look crappy. Plus, Im paiting the wheels in silver, so none of the available colors will match..
