wheel repair

I've just welded up a rusted out valve stem hole on a kelse hayes wire wheel, and know I need to find out what diameter to drill the new valve stem hole? Can anyone help?
thanks,Scott

 

If it were me, I'd drill it the same size as the other 3 wheels

 

You would be assuming 48 that there are 3 others. And there in lies the rub, its the only one I have.

 

Ah, but it you are using a standard valve stem, then a lot of other wheels will have the same size hole.
