Wheel pin hole bead leaks
Hi everyone, I have a very unique issue here regarding one wheel where I am loosing at least 15psi every 3days. I need your wisdom, advise and or if you have experienced similar situation in the past please feel free to chime in.
I been back and forth with my tire shop for the past 3 weeks (2nd visit fixed valve stem leaked) and today a week after the 2nd visit, same tire (front left) is down to 14psi. They checked it out and found several pin hole bead leaks near outer and inner lip, they tried fixing it (see pics) and to me they are only temporary fix, even though I am hoping that it would not leak anymore, I still contacted several wheel repair shops around my area and most of them are avoiding to fix it or referring me to other places.
So is it fixable? I've read about the JB weld method but unsure who can do that around my area or would it even fix the issue? do you know any place around Orange County that can help?
Update: found a shop that fixes bead leaks! no more leakerraaaggeee!
