Tire keeps leaking air
So I have the lorinser 20in light wight rims. Noticed that the air pressure would drop 10psi every week or so. Went to the dealer and they said that the rims had a little divet or something. I said ok fix it. There solution was just adding more weld onto the rim. Got the car back about a week ago and still losing air pressure. Any thoughts? Could it be the rim or a busted tire?

If the rims is fractured, it would account for the air loss. I would visit a tire shop, and have them add air to the tire, then submerge it in water to determine exactly where the leak is coming from. Just my .02 cents

yeah - submerge it -- it could be a valve stem -- mine was doing the same thing -- it ended up being a simple fix -- the valve stem cap had a rubber O-ring, it got stuck on the inflating pin and was causing a small leak --- tossed that ring and its been fine -- So, your ordeal could be a simple fix
