Darin,
I put a can of fix-a-flat in mine, with the wheel off the car. I flipped and rolled the wheel to get the liquid spread out within. I did this over a period of several days. I had to air it up each day. Then I put the wheel on the car. When the lugs get torqued the wheel halve get compressed. This wheel no longer leaks, as long as its on the car and torqued. When it is removed it has a slow leak.
This was done to a rear wheel with a slick mounted. I was getting tired of the slick leaking between races. Also, after the leak was fixed, I broke the bead and removed the excess fix-a-flat liquid from within, otherwise a I would have run into a wheel/tire balance issue.
