The air you breathe (and currently in your tires) is 79% nitrogen anyway. IMO going full nitrogen is a waste of time and money, unless you are running in a top competition class and even then it's debatable.
I agree with Joules - I think this discussion is definately a case of diminishing returns.
The outside of your rims have significantly more surface area than the inside. IMHO - you would get better protection / longevity by giving them another coat of paint than by filling with N2.
The inside of your tires have less surface area than the outside - and the outside of the tires are exposed to Oxygen and Ozone and UV light.
There HAS to be a way to spend $100 (plus the 3 hours spent reading and writing this thread, and the time it will take to get a nitrogen setup, and to fill a tank) that will have a bigger payback than this....
But that's just my opinion.... I still have a lot of work to do to my car... I guess your car is "100% finished"....
Not to be arguementative.... Just realistic.
