Default tire slow leaks

Has anyone had any sucess with the slow leaks that plague old alloy wheels I had a set of new tires installed and the fronts leak adding air every couple of weeks? Ie sealers, pressure, i know they can buff the rims but that isnt perfect either thanks.

I would take it to a tire shop and have them dunk them in the water tank. That will show you exactly where the leak is coming from. That would be the best place to start.

If there is a lot of corrosion on the bead need to dismount and clean it real good then remount using the sealer goo on the bead, good tire shop should have it, could be the valve stem or valve core, also maybe you ran over a screw right away anything is possible

Squirt a little dish soap / water mixture around the bead and stem, look for foaming
