Default Valve stem replacement ????????

Hey folks I need a little help. My new to me 2004 Z06 has rubber valve stems in the wheels. Is it possible to replace them with metal valve stems? If so where can I purchase them? Thanks in advance, Mo.

PS: I'm surprised a high performance car like the Z06 doesn't have metal valve stems, I've seen the rubber type dry rot & fail.

Why don't you just put the tire pressure sensors in and have the computer reprogrammed so they work.
You'll need four of each.
