I had custom made Boyd wheels made (many years ago)and I kept getting leaks. They could never find them. I told a buddy of mine that welds for a living and he found all of the leaks at the welds. Sometimes dirt ,old paint can help hold the air in a little. Scrub the rim inside and out really good. Look for the leak on the inside. You might not see bubbles float but maybe small foam forming in an area. Good Luck !!! |

Thanks guys... Yes, the leak is very small so I can understand that they dont see bubbles as you typically would. At this point, the car goes into the garage soon and i dont want to worry about constantly pumping the tire all winter... Maybe ill just roast the rears and get new ones hahaha.
