HRE Question

My buddy bought this g500 with the wheels on it and lately he has noticed the tires losing alot of air and the tires are brand new he just put them on. Is it possible the wheels are leaking because they're 3 piece? thanks

seal is probably busted or valve stem is cracked

go back to the installer 10 to 1 he sliced the silicone bead seal in the inside of the wheel, i had this happen before with a set of HRE's, not a big deal just a pain in the ......... have to pull the tire, run a new silicone bead, wait 24 hrs to properly cure, then remount tire carefully.
