Leaking alloy:
I have a set of very expensive SL65 AMG split rim alloys. One of them has had a repair done at some stage. The repair which is on the inside of the rim has a faint hairline crack on the lip of the rim and is about 1/2 inch long causing the tyre to leak air over a long period.
I am taking the rim to an alloy wheel specialist tomorrow for them to try to salvage the wheel (gulp). IF they say they can't do anything with it, I was thinking about fitting an inner tube inside my 285 x 19 x 30 tyre.
Is that (a) insane, (b) a sound idea (c) can't get inner tubes for tyre sizes like this.
Be gentle, it was only an idea.............................
