What do people use to reseal the rim?

Can I just tighten the nuts when a allen key/spanner or will I need a torque wrench etc?

Any more info I should know?

Thanks,
marvis.

You can use silicon.

i used blue selastic...you know that blue gasket making junk...

just run a line on the inside edge before you bolt it together...(same as with a diff)...or you can just run a thick bead around the join on the inside of the rim (where the tire will fit over)

works fine

i havent torque wrenched mine...just did them up FT then drove for about a week and went back over all the bolts and made them FT again...

havent had a problem yet...

the torque rating for the bolts is only around the 2NM mark anyway
