Chrome wheel corrosion. Critical location around valve stem creating air leak in valve stem. Could create low enough pressure to effect handling in emergency situation. Luckily mine was a slow leak, but the only fix is wheel replacement at extreme cost and a lengthy replacement process leaving the owner with choice of unsafe use, or losing use of the vehicle during the process. Initial first aid was to clean the stem hole of corrosion, use a sealant around the new valve stem, with no guarantee of a safe fix and an upcoming 2 week trip to upper ontario canada in fully loaded vehicle.
