Hello all,

I have created a thread down at the tyres related section, but it seems to be very quite there.
Since I'd ideally need to figure it out quickly, hope it's ok if I paste the thread here in hopes you'd check it out.
Thank you very much!

Hello all!

I know the title name may sound a bit strange but here is the situation.
My OZ Classe rims have got removable polished lips and due to various circumstances I had to remove them and I now ended up with straight through holes in the side wall.

My main question is would I be able to safely use these alloys with such holes in them, I mean would the tyre pressure be a problem, would air leak, etc.
Some of the e.g. "vip" style rims have tyres on that are so stretched that it seems that the side wall doesn't play a part in holding in the air/pressure.

I believe pictures will do a better job at explaining the situation.

Thank you!

i dont think it would be a issue as the tire bead sits against that, but not sure why you have holes any way, you could always have them welded shut
