Is it an alloy wheel? Usually they leak either from a crack, or from a bad seal on the contact area between tire and wheel.

Is it a donk? (A steel wheel)

You are sure it is the rim that is leaking and not the tire?

original rims and one of them always has trouble holding the bead if not done just the right way. tire guys cleaned up the bead and it appears to be holding air.

few years back i tried 195-75's and they never could hold air, going flat after i left car for few months. thought perhaps it was the rims. for the winter up here , i like the skinnier tires anyway.
