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

    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:

    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

    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?

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
