So I just got the car back frm being lowered, new bushings etc etc etc and all keen to get the new RS's on and alas one has a leak around the bolts.

I tried some leak sealer but it just made a mess.

I have the sockets to loosen the bolts so I was thinking about taking the rim apart and resealing it.

Does anyone know what to use to seal up 3 piece rims?

Give the RS's to me. Problem solved.

Sorry, not sure what sealant to use.

I believe its a RTV variant. Call Kodiak since they make custom lips for RM's and they will have some ideas.

Branan · 10-14-2008, 12:16 AM

Ok. and is that available in local shops? ie Lordco?

Thanks.

MikesJo · 10-14-2008, 01:20 AM

What size RSs did you get? 16x7?

Branan · 10-14-2008, 10:49 AM

15's. I couldn't find any 16's....

MikesJo · 10-14-2008, 06:51 PM

How much did the 15s set you back? Source?

Branan · 10-14-2008, 07:56 PM

Found them locally in a weird little shop, $1000 with rubber, good condition. Sorry there are no more, but I might have a set of RM's coming up for sale soon.

Branan · 10-14-2008, 07:57 PM

btw - there is a group buy on r3v of staggered 16's, but I think they are replicas....

MikesJo · 10-14-2008, 09:32 PM

Branan · 10-14-2008, 10:17 PM

There is a thread in here somewhere about the group buy, its on R3V and they have pics there
