I have a Toyota that has aluminum wheels. Came from the dealer with them and remember seeing several of the same models on the lot with the same wheels. They are Enkei wheels. One of mine has a small crack, about 1/2 inch long, on the inside edge, the bead area. Small leak, leaks just enough to bring on the low pressure light about once per week. Enkei does not make them anymore and the only ones I can find is a whole set, used, on E-bay. Don't wanna pay the price for a set.
Question is: I have seen an "aluminum brazing rod" Alumiloy I think it is called. Supposed to be applied with a propane torch. Does the green screen think that would be a viable sealing method for this wheel with such a small leak? Has anyone out there ever used this product/method? I think I would need to clean the crack before using this product, Would that be necessary and what should I use to clean it with? Another thought was JB weld but not sure how permanent that would be.
Any help would be appreciated!
