I know you said you checked the bead area on the outside, but you may want to check the inside. I have the chrome X rims and they are peeling/corroded pretty bad on the inside. I had a leak on mine that I couldn't find until the rim came off. The bead wasn't sealing on the inside. My problem also happened after getting the tires replaced.

^ This.
I had the split spoke chrome rims and they were peeling badly when I bought new tires.
The tire shop told me about it but installed the tires anyways so they wouldn't lose a sale.
I bought new rims and switched the tires over but I still have this problem.
Svence do you still have the chrome rims?

The tires were on there for almost 3 yrs with no leak. I think the mechanic did a good and clean job mounting it today. They even use torque sticks to mount the wheels. First time that I've seen it at any tire shop.

Update: after a few weeks
I still noticed one of the tire is leaking about 2 psi a week. Another 1 is about 1 psi a week. Then there are two that are perfectly normal since I came back from the shop. Those two tires didn't lose anything.
The weather has been pretty cold recently. Car is always in garage. Outside at night in the 20s so garage is prob in the 40s. Losing 1 or 2 psi a week is that normal? I guess 1 is but 2?

go to America tire co if you have one near there.
I work at one and trust me, you can visually inspect a tire, and say this isn't leaking and then you put it in a tank of water and you say the tiniest bubbles.
or any other tires shop. tell them to put 40 psi in the tires then have put them in the water tank. they'll be able to tell where it's leaking from
