Default Grommets for Wheel Air Fittings

OK this is probably a really dumb question but on one builder's web site I saw what looks like rubber grommets installed in the main landing gear wheels where the air fittings come through. I see no mention of this in the RV-7A plans or on the drawings. Are these grommets in the kit somewhere? I don't see them. Are these standard style grommets or something special?

Not in the kit - plain holes will work fine.

You can get grommets at http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/an931.php - could be less expensive other places.
