Flat Tire.... caused by a leak in my 17" 2 piece wheel
Flat Tire.... caused by a leak in my 17" 2 piece wheel
Anyone know how a wheel would start leaking and what to do about it? New wheel or can a 'wheel repair' guy fix it? My 2006 MCS is sitting at Sam's until I figure this out! They showed me how it was leaking in the dunk tank and it's between the 2 pieces where the bolts around the rim are.

Most likely a 'wheel repair guy' can fix the leaking wheel.
The bolts may have loosened causing the silicon seal to leak.
Hope this helps...
Edit: I'm wrong about the leak, there is no sealant, most likely a crack.

Thanks that's the track I'm taking right now. Have a call and an email into an Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist franchisee.
Latest. Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists won't touch my wheel and the remanufacturer he recommended I call won't touch it either. He told me to take the tire off and run a bead of silicone over the existing seal to try and fix it myself.
