valve stems on carrera wheels

Hello guys I am planning on getting my TPMS from my older wheels and have it installed on my new set of wheels.. the question is should I need new valve stems for the new wheels? or can I reuse the older ones?

thanks all

It is good practice to replace valve stems with the tire. The rubber stem can deteriorate from exposure the same as a tire and can be damaged by road hazards. Cheap insurance.
