I bought a set of stag wheels saturday and the chap said he thinks i need to run innertubes as the wheels do not seal. Is this correct? As i just bought tyres.
Cheers all.

Unless brand new repro wheels, probably true. Stag wheels are getting very old now and weren't that air tight when new!

Check the lips for corrosion, the rims are thick enough I would think not to have gone porous, More likely there is corrosion or lifted lacquer on the edge of the rim, allowing air to leak past.

You can get inner tubes designed to go in radial tyres and I have heard that porous alloys can be sorted out with a coating although its an aerospace technique used for magnesium aircraft wheels so I suspect probably beyond the value of some Stag alloys. www.avonmotorsport.com/resource-centre/tube-fitment |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

Ran the Stag alloys on my MGB tubeless for years, just make sure the bead edge on the rim is smooth. Painting the insides of them will sort out any porosity, just done this on the slot mags on my truck fine.

I wouldn't have thought that inner tubes were needed here! My Dolomite alloys don't hold air that well so I always ensure I've got a few 50p's lying around ready to use in the air machine!!!
