How to fix hole in wheel?

Got one rim that wont hold air from my wreck, any good ways to fix it? Its right in the middle of the rim and the air just bubbles out really slowly..thinking jb weld might fix it, its almost like a pinhole

There is at least one company in Tallahassee that does wheel repair. They used to advertise a lot in our area.

Have you had the rim checked to make sure it is not bent? Hate to see someone spend time and money on a rim and then have a vibration from being bent, out of round, etc..

What he said, that could be dangerous even if the JB weld holds which I wouldn't exactly trust in this situation.

Pull the tire off and mark the pin hole. Take it and get a spot of weld put on it at a welding shop.
