yes they are 100% straight with no curb rash or bends, the chrome is peeling inside the rim on the beadlock. discount scrubbed it with a wire brush and got rid of the peeling chrome but the wheel still wont hold air for more than a day or two without going flat.

anyone know how to fix this problem? or do i need to find a place to buy one stock t/a wheel?
seems like a minor problem to have to replace the entire wheel, but discount has no other ideas?

hey man i worked in a tire shop for 2 years. they need to sand it using an air tool. the sanding disc is like 3 inchs in diameter. then you use some beadseal and use the brush inside the can to put some on the bead of the rim. let it dry then mount the tire. put money on it that will work.

I had this exact same problem with one of my chrome wheels on my 97 Z28 and that is exactly what you have to do. When they guy mounted my tires he cleaned the inside if the wheel off with the wire wheel but it didn't hold air so they had to do exactly as mentioned above.

bingo! happend to my friends 97 SS zr1 wheels... they were leaking from the bead so i took a wire wheel to it and put bead sealer all the way around and he has never had a prob since... although once you start taking tires on and off a couple of times you prob want to make sure they do that again cause it will come back after the bead sealer has pealed up.

could always be as simple as the valvestem not seated well, or the center part of the stem came loose a little
