Did the mag star wheels come with standard black rubber valve stems?

Did the steel wheels also have the dill valve stems?  Where they longer for the hubcap?

Yes dill valve stems (dill caps came on dill valve stems) and yes the stems were longer for hubcap cars.

Does someone here has the chance to measure the length of the valve stem? I just want to find out the correct length or order number at Dill.

The ones in the NPD catalog say 1 1/4 "

The original Mag Stars I had the hole in the wheel for the valve stem was a larger than the size on modern wheels, a new valve stem fell through the hole, they had to use what they referred to as "truck valves", this was in 1994.

I doubt the repro or re-rimed wheels have that issue.

Just for reference, attached is a Shelby promotional photo with a close-up of the wheel showing the length of the valve stem.
