Re: '89 90Q with bad rims

[cmice@mke.ab.com (Christopher Ice)]

I too have had many problems with the tires on my '88 90Q.  I've got the
many-spoked rims as popular on the GT Coupes...(how did I get them? they
came with the car)

Anyway, I've already roached 2 of my BFGs by running them severly
underinflated.  They would deflate about 8 lbs in about 3-4 days...I don't
normally check my pressures that often.

Anyway, most are *rim leaks*, but the last one was valve stems.  I guess
the aluminum begins to pit where the bead seats on the rim and it leaks.
Pull the tire off and go over the spot with a polisher/wire wheel and the
pit is gone (for now).

No, you're not alone, but I don't have the $$$ to drop on a new set of
rims...and BELIEVE ME, I'm not going to Audi to get them (they wanted
$96/ea for STEEL rims!!!).
