BMW R80 RT single disc.

Looking for a good condition front alloy wheel for single disc mono shock R80 . Corrosion on mine means I'm losing air slowly all the time so I need one with minimum corrosion.

Is it def corosion? One of my K bikes used to lose a couple of psi each week.

I lose psi through old valves. To tight to change them.

Or use paint inside the rim?

Would a 'Slime' type product do the job?

I had this on mine. Had them powder coated and problem was solved. Other option is to put a tube in the tyre. Slime etc wont work as it coats the tyre not the rim. You could try coating the rim in RIW or something similar to close up and porous holes.
