sealing defender wheels

Looking for a bit of advice please. Just got a set of brand new wheels and tyres for my defender. I heard from someone that I would be wise to seal the inside of them with sillicone. Has anyone done this? Does it work? Someone else said to me that I must use a product called tiger seal because normal sillicone will damage them. Any comments or experiences would be much appreciated.
Thanks

dont use tiger seal, you'll never get the tyres off,

if your after sealing them cos of air leaks or to enable you to drop the pressure try using this stuff:-

Off Road Tyre Sealant |OKO Puncture Free Off Road 1250ml

i used it on some leaky disco alloys, sealed up great

Thanks for the reply but I was talking about sealing them on the outside of the rim in the gap where the rust always seems to start. I can see that tiger sealing the tyre on would be a problem!

Ive never heard of this before. Sounds like paranoia.

My modulars have been on my defender for 3 years in my ownership they were on when i bought it.

There is no rust on mine. I imagine if you don't seal it properly or somehow the silicone lifts after you've done it you will trap water and cause it to rust though.

I have heard of it before its up to you really means you need to re paint them as the tiger seal is usually black

mark evans "4x4 is born" do's it with his wheel's..

Thanks for the info I think it is now available in white also.
