What do you guys use to seal up a three peice wheel when it starts leaking air? A couple years ago I resealed it with silicone but that only sealed it completely for a month or two. Just looking to see if there is something better out there.

I have two different Centerlines that are leaking now  You have to clean the old silicone off so it is really clean and no old silicone left, scuff the cneter up with scotch brite and clean with laquer thinner really well. Then find some silicone that has Adhesive silicone on the label and try again, let it dry for several days. Don't use any other type of siliscone that deosn't say "adhesive" silicone on it.
