Default Aluminum valve stems? Pro's? Cons? ;O)

I have some German Stainless valve stems, on my BBS wheels. They are great!

But many tire shops complain about them? Why?

I have no worries with the German Stainless stems, but aluminum? I heard they break easily?

Anyone else? TIA! :O)<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=33747&amp;item =2417361140">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=33747&amp;item =2417361140</a</li></ul>

Default Probably don't like having to unscrew the core and wait for the air to come out.

They yank the rubber ones, PSHHT.

Even if I decline new valve stems I get them anyway, just don't have to pay for them.
