Post Leaking Wheel

I have a 2 piece Forgeline LS wheel that leaks. Has anyone had their wheel repaired? Can this be done by a local shop or does it need to be returned to the manufacturer?

What it probably needs is a weld all the way around the wheel where the two pieces come together. I bet they will take them back and do it free for you.

A shop that specializes in wheel rpair can do it or the manufacturer. Have you ever tried soapy water on them to see any bubbles from the wheel or tire? Or does it leak out too slowly to see? Another thought is you may need to just reseat your tire.

My BBS wheels need to be taken apart yearly, inspected and reassembled with new bolts and gaskets.

You don't want your local Firestone dealer working on them!
