Two Valve Stems?

I noticed on several of the wheels sold that they have two valve stems. What's the reason for that?

Comes from racing....you can fill or bleed off pressure AND be measuring pressure precisely at the same time between autocross runs, etc.

another reason is weight balance.

Allows for purging of the air when filling with nitrogen.

Actually those nitrogen filling machine designed do it with only one stem. Two stems wheel are rare and pretty much race exclusive.
