Worlds most expensive tyre valves ?

Take a look at these, apparently for early Bundt wheels on w108 and 70s R107s
They cost a fortune in the UK
Does anyone know if the drilling in the rim takes a standard snap in valve or if you have to use these ?

The 15" bundts that I owned on my 450SEL 6.9, used a straight regular tyre valve - nothing fancy. These bundts were made by ATS, which was a quality manufacturer. I haven't owned that car since 2001 though -- it now lives in Norway.

How much have you been quoted and where from?

I believe the valves you mention are required on earlier wheels due to the thickness / geometry of the rim.

Are your wheels 14"?
 
I am not looking to buy a set of valves, I dont even have any Bundt wheels
The valves in the picture are mine, I only posted to show other members and
to try to find out if these are the only valve that will fit an early wheel
I have read that these are specific to early wheels and snap in valves dont fit
but I would like to confirm this
