Aluminum wheels - slow air leaks

[james accordino]

I too often use Slam's Club.  Their prices are very
competetive and they've been really good to me as
well.  Maybe it's because I stand at the window and
watch them or because I ask alot of questions.  They
also can get just about any tire I would like at a
good price.  Just my $.02 from a many times satisfied
customer.
