So I went to the tire shop I normally use. I have had a very slight vibration above 80mph and I mean very slight so I asked them to balance all four wheels.
Any way they get the leaking tire up for balance, the rim is bent at least 1/4" out of round and cracked hence the slow leak.
I was amazed how bent the rim was and how very slight the the vibration was.
So now waiting on a new rim $992 from Jag the tire shop found me a new one for $792 fitted.
Wow, that is surprising how out of round it was! I would've thought it would be a violent vibration!

Yeah, I was really surprised it wasn't shaking the car part.

Yep, those Lexani's are nice looking and a great price too. Someone will get a nice set.
Happy Motoring....

Andy,
Where did you find your wheel? Was it new or refurbished? The best I could do on a new one was $1000 shipped to me.
