Help! Asanti 3 piece rims leaking!
So to add to my many headaches I noticed that my rear tire has been going flat, with all new tires on my car I hoped it wasn't the tire. Took it in, drowned the tire and rim in water and noticed that the rim was leaking air past the silicone. They are 3 piece rims and I have heard of this happening but I am hoping there is a way to fix this problem without me having to send it in to Asanti and wait 3 months to get it back. Any suggestions?????

Strip the old silicone off, clean the hell out of the mating surfaces and reseal with a silicone/sealant. Dow used to make one called "832"....they still might. Some guys get away with a silicone right from Home Depot....but that would make me nervous.
