    Have a couple of 14 x 7 steel wheels where the center of the wheel is riveted (instead of welded) to the outer rimshell. Do these require a tube?

    Riveted wheels

    Riveted wheels are common on Professional Cars, and they will slowly leak air over time. Check your cold pressure often and they should be fine.
