mrna1955 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I have a '57 2.4 Alphie which has aftermarket alloys fitted. I had 4 new tyres fitted in June and last week the nearside front developed a slow puncture. I took the vehicle back to the place that supplied and fitted the tyres and they said the problem was due to a leak between the two parts of the alloy wheels. The wheels are (I think) "SSR Vienna" and appear to be 19in diameter 8.5 or 9J width but I can't find the size stamped on the wheel (the tyres are 245 R40 19). My question is should I get the wheels refurbished of opt for a new set of alloys ? Any advice would be gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthurj Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I had that problem with my Skoda. Was forever down at Sainsbury‘s topping up the tires. When it was time to get new treads I took it to a local tire shop that specialises in alloys and they sealed the alloy when they put the new tires on. Didn’t cost any extra. Haven’t had the problem since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
