I am not saying that the only possible issue with these wheels could be leaking. We have had DNA's that have ahd peeling chrome and such as well. Never had that issue with Ride Wright who also has great customer service and will jump to resolve an issue where DNA will blow you off all day long. The way I see it with spoked rims and sealing is that if you ever need to tighten a spoke it is going to break the seal. So don't bother and run a tube.
