I've heard of people using spray on stonechip paint - put a few good thick coats on round the joins (the side covered by the tire) and it should seal any porosity of the welds.
Seems to make sense to me.

I used Z-poxy, which is an epoxy resin (araldite basically).
Bought one pack off ebay and it took about half to do all 8 welds.

Simple silicone sealant is suffice, its used on wire wheels to prevent leaks on the spokes, and if its good enough to hold fish tanks together with pressure from several hundred gallons of water, it's fine for your wheels.

Thats the stuff, but I would go for the 30min version  Brush it over all the welds and voila... no leaks! |
