Well, if it isn't one thing, it's another...............

I have a small air leak in one of my wheels. I took it to Discount Tire assuming it was a tire leak, and in fact it is my wheel leaking the air as they showed me exactly where it was happening. Not an expert in this field, but it appears a small area of pitting is allowing air to escape. The wheels are chrome and are no longer available for me to purchase a replacement.

Anybody know of place where I can get this fixed? The picture below isn't the best, but I am pointing to the location to where the leak is happening to give you an idea. Thanks in advance for anyone who can chime in......

 

I know it can be fixed...my Mom had the same problem one time. I would try Wheels America (www.fixrim.com); they are local

 

I have seen them around^, saw them at my mb dealership I talked to one of the guys and they said that they do it on the spot and they can do it at your work.

 

Sorry to hear. You can use Wheels America or find out who your Local dealer uses. I haven't had to use any of these places but I have heard good things about Wheels America. Hope it all works out.

Did they fix it for now or did you have to put the OEM's back on? I wonder if you put a rubber patch on the rim if that would hold up or not? If they can patch the inside of the tire and the heat and rotation doesn't cause failure I would think the same with that. Just have to re-balance.

Time to drive up and have Gytis shave those rear panels Maybe he knows a place since he works at a body shop??

 

Guys-
Thanks for the help. I have received a message from Dr. Gytis and he is going to fix me up, along with some rubbing issues I have been having. I will let everyone know how things turn out!

 

I had the same problem with my Accord, had to get a new set of rims. Man Gytis, your there for everyone

 

How did it come out
