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

2006 E55 AMG --old cars -- E39 M5, 2.7tt Audi S4, E36 M3 **Ducati 996, 748
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

Valve stem was leaking on my old car too, took months to find, the actual valve stem was rubbing against the rims and caused a little cut in the valve stem.

This is the route I would take.
