Hey guys,

I've got two wheels that keep going flat. I stuck them into water and saw that the mesh screws are letting out air. Whats the best solution for the problem?

 

are they two peice wheels?

:AA:

 

They're mesh wheels. I have 4 of them on my car, but only the front ones seems to be de-flating. Would I need to take off the tires and re-seal them? Would filling my tires with that green slime from auto-zone do it? Get a camera in my tires?

 

Its not the bolts that are letting the air out, its the seal between the inner rim/ center/ outter rim. I doubt that green stuff would work, usually you need to completely dissemble all 3 pieces, clean off the old sealant, and re-do it all.

3 piece.


2 piece wheels have solid rims

RB Motoring could do it.

Yeah, don't be placing the green slime I've seen some nasty rims come and go because the green stuff just adheres anywhere besides the holes in a tire. Also if its not cleaned and left in for a while you'll get like this fuzzy "moss like" stuff on the rim thats very hard to clean. Take it to a specialty rim shop is your best bet.

 

yeah, three peice wheel's are precious. so i would take the time and do it right. renton might be right and it could be the seal going OR the "bolt's" you are talking about could be loose. i've seen it happen before. (being that i've worked with wheel's and tire's for 2 year's.)

:AA:

You're gonna have to sell the FD really cheap to get rid of the wheel problems. lol

j/k What they said, take it to a rim shop. Try these cats:

(I'm not endorsing them or anything, but they do rim repairs, so leaks might be their list of repairs)

 

the green slime sucks. its a temporary repair but it will eventually throw the balance off because of the fluid always moving around. take it to a repair shop and get those babies fixed

 

I use to work at a tire shop. And we always laughed at the people who would come in with a flat who had tried the tire sealer stuff. It rarely works, unless the leak is directly in the center of the tread I dont recommend ever using it.

 

PM ricerj for a rimjob.
