Default "Sliming" aluminum wheels

So many opinions on how bad aluminum wheels are- Has anyone had any
luck with slime or a similar product?

I asked my mechanic how bad it was to replace a tire that had been
slimed and he said he didn't care for it. But it might be worth the
extra $ one time to be able to stop adding air weekly to the 8
aluminum wheels in my driveway.

That slime stuff is a really nasty product. Some tyre outlets
refuse to work on a wheel that has had it. It can cause off balance
and other problems. Just Say No!
