I have some 14" Empi's that need new gaskets. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Where are these gaskets you're talking about used?

Obviously I don't know what you're needing... but, have you tried EMPI?

These are the two-piece, 8 spoke wheels. There's a gasket/o-ring that goes between the wheels. I've read where some people have gaskets made, but no information on their manufacture. Thanks for your time.

I know most guys who do 3 piece wheels (BBS and the like) just use sealant. They spread it on the seam and don't put it between the pieces.

Sealant might be the way to go. I've been using tubes, but they're a pain in the rear. I figured more people on here would know about these. Thanks!
