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.

You don't 'slime' (or any other sealant for that matter) tires that go
over 25mph.

They'll shake like a fukkin leaf and you'll never do an inside repair
again. (not without serious cleaning anyway)
