[s-cars] Slow Tire Leak

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

I had a set of '89 200 Pearl White rims that none of the tire garages could
get to stop leaking a slow leak.  I think a lot of it was due to the paint
finish coming off...I'm not sure....but I finally had to buy a replacement
set of rims to stop the  weekly tire filling crap.

Valve stem leakage is probably most common - aside from punctures, of
course.  I have also seen slow leakage resulting from a small crack
in the wheel after pothole participation.
