Customers ask us all the time at Laker Tire & Service, LLC why their tires lose air pressure. The series of photos below show what a corroded aluminum rim looks like and the steps to correct and slow down the condition that causes corrosion and leaky rims.
Sometimes, customers come into our shop after having tires installed by another shop or a big box store, and the other place did not correct their rims to avoid the hassle. Many times, a customer will tell us they've had their vehicle back to the competitor's shop 2 or 3 times to correct a wheel vibration, and the problems still aren't fixed.

Typically, the vibration stops immediately after taking this very necessary step that the big box stores often skip. (The top 3 photos below are the "BEFORE" photos. The bottom 4 photos show the "AFTER" results after Laker Tire & Service, LLC took care of the problem the RIGHT WAY the FIRST TIME.
