Rim is leaking air from the bolts(?)
I have a set of 3pc DPE Aristos. Lately I've noticed that 2 of the rims seem to be losing air slowly and have had to fill them up every few days. It's getting quite annoying, so I figured I'd ask to see if you guys know any fixes for this. I got a tub filled with water to see if I can find the leak, and I've noticed that about 3-4 bolts are slowly leaking air. Similar to the video below, except not as severe. The bolts that are leaking are coming from the inner part of the rim. Anyone ever have this problem before? If so, how did you fix this.
There is a place about 45 minutes from me that specializes in Wheel Repair, so I figured if I can't find a solution myself, I'll end up taking it to them. I'm just trying to figure it out on my own, because they charge $140 per wheel to be fixed. So I'm trying to avoid paying right around $300 for a little air leak.

whoa... i've never seen anything like that before. Then again, I've never owned three piece wheels before. I'm thinking it's where the inner wheel and outer wheel meet. Not sure if you can take it all apart and put some silicone sealant (caulking) or something around it. Again, that's just a stab in the dark, I have no idea. Good luck.
