thats inbetween the spokes ant the outer rim? if thats it i think its to just keep dirt out..but thats just a guess

The silicone bead is there to stop dirt and mud and associated shite getting in and causing rust to form in the joint between the two.

redo it with sikaflex to stop dirt getting in as everytime i wash my truck dirt keeps coming out as there is none on my wheels.

Depends on the type, you can get a neutral cure silicone that is non corrosive.
