I just got me some wheels for my s13 and they came with these screw togeathere valves stems, Do they work well? also do i need to put anything on the rubber gaskets to help them seal better?

Can standard rubber valve stems not be used on these wheels?

ty for any info.

I need to see a picture bcs I'm not sure what you are talking about. All the people I've seen w/ 5zigen rims have the standard valve stems - nothing special from what I remember.

As long as it holds air, it should be fine .

He is talking about the bolt-on valvestems. Pretty much every aftermarket wheel that I have seen uses them instead of the push in type. They work fine. The cheap push in ones can be used too, as long as the edges of the valvestem hole are not too sharp.
