1995 Probe GT factory chrome wheels.

I haven't measured the pressure before filling it. I'll just notice it's visibly low and fill it to 35psi. Today the pressure was way down to like 10psi so I took it to discount tire where I bought the tire to have them check for a nail. No punctures anywhere. So 25 psi over probably 2 weeks is a lot. The service tech showed me how the clear coat was just flaking off badly. 13 years in the salt belt isn't a bad lifespan for rims.

That sticky goop shit that the tire places use works great as well. But, the tire shop should have submerged the thing in water.

I'd hit up Craigslist to find some gangsta who just upgraded his wheels and is selling his stockers, with tires for $100.

Paid for the wheels last Friday, and they had to have them shipped over from Detroit so they should go on tomorrow or Friday. These Konigs were $505 OTD so I figur if I clean up the OEM rims and refinish them I should be able to make most of that money back up. The OEM wheels are $500 new each. My wheels have no cube rash at all so a little clean up and a fresh clear coat and I should be able to sell them on the Maxima board for at least $400 for the set.

So is it just chrome that has a problem? I guess chrome flakes are thicker than paint flakes? Because I haven't heard of anybody with regular-painted wheels who experienced this problem.
