    Default Wheel Help

    I was told my wheel wont hold air anymore due to water build up and corrosion at the bead. Does anyone know of a reputable shop that could repair it? Also can anyone identify these wheels? I bought them from a friend and he cant remember the brand. Thanks.

    Thanks for the offer 94, I took the wheel and tire to discount tire thinking that I just needed the tire plugged and they said it wouldnt hold air. Well it wound up holding air for about a month before doing this. Ill have to get the tire taken off the rim before I can snap a shot. Ill get back to you when I get the chance to have that done. Thanks Humphries.

    lol Ive never heard of this happening before either knockoff or not but Ill have to see what their talking about when I get the tire off. Ive google searched the hell out of this wheel and cant find one like it. Says Effect Wheel on the center cap. Sucks not being able to find a replacement rim.
