How are you guys venting your aluminum wheel/tire combo's ? Whats the best option ? Thanks

A drill with a 1/8 bit has always worked for me.

I usually drill two holes per wheel then tap them out to 4mm so I can plug the holes with 4mm set screws if I'm going to be running in wet conditions.

I've punched three holes in the side of each tire instead.
The main reason is that I use closed cell inner foams, so holes in the rim would be useless.

where in the tire did you actually punch the holes and what did you use, what size hole?
