Hi all Good one this ...
Standard UK 15 inch alloy wheel ..... has anyone heard of one being pourous ?? I know years back some alloys used to be terrible for it.. but I've had this tyre checked twice for punctures, dodgy valves etc but it still drops from 32psi down to 15psi in 2 weeks
Only thing left is the alloy
Any one through any light on the subject ?

Kev,
I've got a stack of 15" wheels in my garage. They haven't reduced in pressure, although my dealer did say it was a problem.
Mine have lost about 2-3psi after sitting in a garage for about 8 months!
Had to use them recently, but you're more than welcome just to take them off me!!!
