need a rim fixed asap.. whats a good place QUICK QUICK HURRY ASAP

[thinkfast®]

well I was minding my own business gettin smoked out at my friends house the other nite, when I walk out and see a flat. sonuvabitch white boys next door, I thought. Pulled out my shank ready to attack but then noticed the tire was bald as a trailer park b.itch.. well I changed the tire out, next day, same s.hit

turns out my buddies at Kauffman werent ripping me off, but I have a slow leak on my rims. actually 3 spokes are leaking, and I dont know how to fix it (already tried some putty JBweld type s.hit, that didnt work)

any ideas vatos locos? rim is straight nothing else is wrong just the spokes are leaking, and the damn tire wont hold air. please help/ayudame

thanks in advance :sad face:

[Evil Goat]

can you not tighten the spokes?

[thinkfast®]

no way jose.. tried to, looks like its just goin in circles

[Evil Goat]

hmm...i dont know then...unless you have to remove the tire to tighten it correctly

[Wurm]

water weld maybe?

[thinkfast®]

no, the spokes move freely, and the nipples, even though not attached, cant be tightened. There is a layer of some kind of silicone over the spokes in the center part/hub, Im guessing thats where the leak is coming from but I dont know of any local shops that can repair that quick

wheel wizard I think can do it, but they charge a grip and its not same day, I need the rim fixed like yesterday

[Dirty Octopus™]

we have a similar problem on our JEEP.
the tires are new and the wheels are fine but if you press on the tire in a certain spot near the rim you can hear and feel air coming out. it doesnt just leak out constantly but i guess when theres pressure...

can anyone help me and Thinkfast out here? :thinking:

ima make my own thread. Dont mean to jack yours thinkfast :goodjob:

That's who I was going to recommend. They have fixed some pretty bad mess-ups I gave them a few years ago. But yeah, they do charge a lot.

[v-empire]

dont matter.

there is a system, or its just failure.

[thinkfast®]

sorry mr. thread nazi, but if I want it in the WL guess where its stayin

thats right

[On_Her_Face]

[thinkfast®]

you talkin about wii bowling rite

[81911SC]

Did you check out that link?

[On_Her_Face]

thats right

then i am sure you can move it yourself, or not.

suprised you didnt go off as usual,.....lol...

ok, help suggestion for that:

there are a few butler tire facilities who have machines to fix that, not all of them are equipped, but you can start by calling from the yellow pages. i had a customer who needed one fixed and i was told that he had it done there. so if you call one, they may not know anything about it, call another.

good luck.

[thinkfast®]

Did you check out that link?

yea Im wonderin if I should call em tho, they are way out in mo betta marietta

[thinkfast®]

a lot of the places are doin wheel repair for bent/curbed rims, my sh*t aint relavent to that, I watch my spokes when Im parkin

all I need is somethin to get the silicone patched up, Im startin to wonder if I can get the tire off, get the rim and throw some silicone on it and let it sit overnite

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

son you wasnt even at my table, so whatever bs you talkin is irrelevant

IRRELEVANT I SAY

[v-empire]

i dont know what kind or type of wheels you have.

the dude i was talking about had a three piece wheel which needed to be redone, with silicone, because it had a slow leak. in between the seams/joints.

i have no clue what wheels you have.

idk try that fix-a-flat stuff...put some in on a flat tire and make sure you drive around for like 10 minutes so it doesnt harden in one spot...

hmm, I dont think so man, the tire is brand new top of the line sh*t, dont think that will help

[Benefit]

it just seals up any leaks in the wheel...idk try it

[81911SC]

I think it ruins the tire though, correct?

[Mr. Clean]

man if your droppin big bank on some daytons, i'd think you could send em back and get a new one pretty quick, but then again i'm not up on warranty policies with rim companys.

[bastarling84]

But it also ****s up the tire. It is meant to be a temporary solution to get you to a tire shop, not a repair kit.
