The removable grommets allow the valve stem assembly to be used on a variety of rims. Each grommet fits into distinct holes within the rims. The valve stem assembly also includes a valve stem body that receives the removable grommets and an attachment end that encloses a valve core within the valve stem body. A cap may cover the valve core and attachment end.
