its a hole in the rim huh?? sounds weird... but taking the tire off and having someone weld (or braze) the hole will work...

I don't think I should try those fix-a-flat stuff.. My cousin put some in and it totally ruin his tires... I'm not sure what kind he put in, but it did not go well...

I've used fix-a-flat for a slow leak before and didn't have any problem. It's essentially a one time fix though since it clogs up the air stem, but it'll extend the life for a quite a while.
