RE: Re: [Chrysler300] Chrysler wire wheels

The inside on the wires I had redone for our 55 had an epoxy sealant put on
the tire side of the wheel and it worked fine. Some place in Ca did it for
us.

I'd give you odds that using a gas tank sealant brushed on would do the
trick also as long as you got enough build up.

I am not certain but I believe that I had once heard from someone who had
tubeless wires, that it was a band of a silicon like substance around the
perimeter of the wheel where the nipples are inserted.

This person said that had zero problems with leaking. When I had done mine
some 16 years ago I had axed about running tubeless and the
fellow(Borrani's) said could not be done.

If you call a couple of these firms(can probably find with a Google search)
perhaps you could share what you find.

I do no that tubes are heavy, hard to install(in fact my local tire store
did not even know how to mount tires with tubes, I had to show the guys
working there how to install the tubes, then fill the tires with air and let
them deflate--they wondered why that need to be done--) and I believe that
tubes even make balancing more tricky.
