3G rims leaking air
Just picked up a set of factory rims off a 04-06 TL with winter tires on them for my 08 Type S. When I arrived to pick them up they were washing and cleaning them, they also balanced them for an extra $20. Once I got the tires home I put them in my garage, since they tires were still wet I happened to hear air coming from 3 of the 4 rims. Looks like they lost 1-2 psi per tire overnight. Is this common for aluminum rims that are driven in the winter? What's the best way to remedy the problem?

Got to find out where they are leaking, around the TPMS sensor stem seal, or out from under the bead. If you have something large enough, fill it with water and stand the tire upright if not enough room to lay down, and turn slowly to see where the bubbles might be. TPMS sensor seal, tighten first and if still leaks replace, if the bead, break down the tire and clean and seal the area.
