    Exactly,but sealant does exist.
    You need to take of your tyres,and apply the sealant on the flat of the wheel,and the sides where the tire is contacting the wheels.
    IF your tyres are OK,your problems would be gone...

    Like I said earlier, clear silicone. It's used all the time on our race wheels.
    Infact that's all that is used to seal them, no gaskets or o-rings. It's a simple fix.

    Older Aluminum rims can corrode at the lip radius, where moisture and possible salt (winter) collect, causing small leaks.
