Default Bolt In Tyre Valves

Anyone use bolt in tyre valves? I've got a set (link below of which) that came with my tyres and unsure if I should fitted them.
Whats the pro and cons on them? Or thay just plain shit and I should just bin them? As thats what im thinking of doing.

I wouldn't bother, slim/flush ones would be the exception where a standard one wouldn't fit due to clearance issues with brakes.
likely for the valve cap to seize on those in the link imo.

as above we get loads in at work where the caps seized on and the owners actually snapped valve trying to get the cap off .waste of time

Not only that the metal ones will cause corrision paint bubbling etc around the hole where the valve comes through
