If you look at the picture above, I am getting an air leak from that seam, where the center and the lip intersect, causing my front left tire to leak pretty quickly, it is bubbling up when i pour water on it in certain parts of that seam around the whole wheel

I know I should be resealing this front, and I am able to do it myself, or I will have Goodyear do it for me, but is that a problem with the seal itself (is there even supposed to be a seal there?,) and what should I do to reseal it? Take it apart, strip the seal and add some atv silicone around that seam, then retorque and remount the tires?

I have learned to love 3 piece wheels, .... not

Take the tire off and see how the wheel is sealed. If there is a sealant, then you'll have to take the wheel apart. If there's a sealing ring, you can apply sealant over top of it(I like Toyota Seal 102 FPIG for my wheels).

If you take the wheel apart, retorque each bolt to 15-20ftlbs in a star type fashion, like you would lug nuts. Make sure get all the sealant off so you can apply new sealant to a fresh clean surface. Scuff the surface up. Apply a bead of FPIG, smear it in the seam(s) with your finger, wait a day, then apply another bead and smear it on. The sealant is applied after the wheel is torqued together.

If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck.

So I am retorqueing the lug nuts before I lay the seal down or after?

My sealing job sucked, its leaking again :/ looks like I will just be throwing $150 into a wheel specialist doing it right.
