stock rims
i have a set of 4 aluminum stock rims. Theyre really bad everyotherday i have another flat tire. Thank god the car is parked. My tires aren't that good but i need them to last so i can move my car around. I have another set of rims for the car but i wanna put them on when it's ready to drive so thats not an option. But just for now does anyone have any suggestions how i can stop the rims from leaking.
also a friend is willing to give me a set of 195 r15 tires will those fit on my rim considering i have 205's now.
thanx any suggestions will help

I don't think your rims are at fault. sounds like the rubber of the tire is not sealing all the way around the rim (common if a car sits a long time). get a can of fix-a-flat (the kind you spray into the valve stem). make sure to use as directed: fill tire to proper PSI, add the stuff, then drive for a few miles. driving spreads the glue all around the inside of the tire, sealing off any leaks where the rubber meets the metal. good luck.
