A structure for sealing air valves for split rim type wheels, comprising:
- an outer split rim member having a hole passing therethrough to and through a first end surface of said outer split rim member;
- a screw thread being provided in at least a portion of the surface of said outer split rim member defining said hole;
- an inner split rim member having a passage therethrough extending from the periphery of said inner split rim member to a second end surface of said inner split rim member which abuts against said first end surface of said outer split rim member;
- an air valve theadedly engaged in said hole, the tip of said air valve butting against said second end surface of said inner split rim member around an opening of said passage on said second end surface of said inner split rim member;
- and
- a sealing member pre-disposed on said tip of said air valve and being pressed in sealing contact against said second end surface around said opening on said second end surface within a space defined by said second surface, the inner periphery of said fitting hole and the tip of said air valve.
