Original Message: ----------------- From: Matt Trebelhorn The tires lose air pressure pretty quickly. The guy who owned it said that the wheels themselves leaked -- like there were cracks in the rim or something. ------------------ I've heard of 'porous' alloy wheels but it seems unlikely in steel wheels. More likely is poorly seated beads - old bits of rubber & debris (?rust?) can prevent the bead from sealing. I've used a kiddie pool to dunk items and search for leaks. Or brush a soapy solution on suspect areas (like the bead).
