its kind of hard to tell by that pic. what it looks like though is a high pressure stem, they usually use them on bigger pickup trucks. is the base of it rubber or metal? i dont see why you'd need to be running a special stem unless you're using a lot of tire pressure (60psi+) or your wheels dont have a standard hole for a standard stem.

all i know, is that i cant use a standard stem. the rims are 18" racing hart c3 evo's and they're discontinued...
the base is metal, with a rubber peice around it (shown)

doesn't look like a high pressure stem. usually high pressure stems have 2 locking nuts on the top side of the wheel. It kind of looks like you are on the right track. I haven't seen anything like that before and i used to work at a tire place ;P
edit: that rubber part must be painted then because it doesn't really look like rubber.

those are re-usable. the only reason you replace stems is because they're usually rubber and they crack and leak over time.
