3 piece wheel air leak

have found a slow leak, about 3 to 4 psi a day on one of my Radenergie r10's from wheelpower. the leak is where the center meets the lip, i think there is a seal around this area. my local tire shop said i should send it back to Wheelpower for a repair and they wouldnt repair it. Anyone know of a wheel shop in the SF bay area to fix this?

Any good performance shop can reseal it as long as it is not bent. All they have to do is unbolt the barrel remove the old silicon sealer and reseal it with some new silicon.
If it is bent then you should send it back.

So we should stay far away from "WheelPower" ? I been to their website and they look legit!
