Help with 3 pc wheel

I have Kenisis 3 pc wheels on my car and thought I had a nail in one. Checked it and found air bubbling out of three of the nuts that bolt the rim together. Anybody know how to fix it? Thanks, John

I believe you have to take the wheel apsrt, reseal and re-bolt. Have you tried simply tightening the bolts?

They use silicone and each of those bolts has a torque spec you will need to call the manufacturer to get the proper spec, hope this helps!
