Are Rim tapes necessary for double wall'ed rims ?
In 1 week I have had 3 flat tires, Maybe that might be the reason, because I dont have the tape on my back wheel.
And Im thinking of ordering Source Bmx rim tape, is it okay?

Yes you need it and yes source tape is fine. I used to use strong tape and a layer of electrical as an alternative.
