I'd also like to mention my "bad" experience with valve stem extensions for others' interest.

I bought a set of extensions for the Firefly (Metro) when I glued flat plastic over the openings in the OEM wheel covers and needed a longer stem.

A day or 2 later I had four flat (or very low) tires!

When tightened down snugly, apparently the extensions put just enough pressure on the original valves to let a bit of air leak past. Backing the extensions off slightly fixed the problem.
I put the valve extensions on over the weekend. I will check my PSI when I get home from work... had not thought of that!
