#1: tyre seal problems Author: willb101, Location: nottsPosted: Mon Feb 21, 2011 1:53 am ---- hey. have just bought some 180 wheels and one of the tyres was flat so i took it my garage. he said it had just slipped of the rim and he'd blown it back on with his air pump and it was fine until coming back to it this morning (after doing a couple hundred miles) and i found it flat. the only thing i can think of is a large pothole i went down last night. air is seeping out of the seal between rim and tyre.
im hoping this will be at worst a new tyre or could it be that the rim itself is the problem? or is this a usual thing to happen when going down a pothole? grateful for any insight
thanks

A simple rim leak
A damaged tyre
A damage rim
Fingers crossed it's just a rim leak as that is an easy repair for a tyre place.

and also been lookin on ebay and seen some single gti wheels for sale. unfortunatley there the ones with the peugeot badge in the centre (but not the ones with the centre cap) where as mine are the ones with nothing in the centre (challengers i think they are) so my question is can the centre bagde be removed/De-badged?
