Valve stem extension on aftermarket wheels?

Any of you run wheels with hidden valve stems (the stem is made to look like one of the bolts holding the wheel together)? What do you use for valve stem extensions when checking or adding air to the tires?

Valve Extensions

I use the cheap plastic valve extensions you can get in any auto parts store. They screw on the valve and are about 2" long. I keep them in the console and use them when I need to add/check air pressure. My wheels don't have the hidden valves but I would think they should work.

The plastic ones aren't working out for me. They leak tremendously when checking or filling, making it hard to get accurate readings. Not to mention that the threads start so deep into the extension, I can't get it lock on right. Looks like Cargraphic saw my post and they're sending me one. Great customer service.
