pin size hole in wheel.

[Honda4life05]

anyone had this happen to them before? I noticed my front tire going flat a few days ago so i checked out the tire and didn't see any holes. I then put the wheel in a big bin filled with water so i can see the air bubbles. as it turns out, the tires is fine. On the inside of the wheel i found a really small hole that was just big enough to make my tire go flat within a day. I already wire wheeled it and put silicone over it but idk if that will be enough to stop the leak. i know the best thing would to spot weld it with a TIG but i don't have access to one right now. any other fixes of this doesn't work? Idk how it happened.

I would try a thin layer JB Weld.

Use your thumb and try pushing some JB Weld in to it.

Or have it welded.

Good luck.

yeah the Jb weld would work I did it for a cut on one onf my rear wheels and it worked fine, in fact its still getting the job gone and that was like a year ago

Yeah i've seen this quite a bit so it's not unheard of. JB weld should work but your best bet would be to get ahold of a Tig

jb weld or a short term fix would maybe be sodder? i'm probably wrong though

I used the JB on an old beadlock wheel that had a hole in it and it worked just fine.

thanks guys. the silicone is holding up for now, but i'll get it welded whenever i have the chance. or better yet, just get beadlocks.

If non of that works you could try Tireballs

just rough up the surrounding area with some 36 grit then clear silicone over it. The 36 grit will give the silicone something to bite in to. You wont have a problem. If you do its much easier to get off for a tig weld then JB.
