2006 Rims leak

I have a 06 limited. This Saturday will be the seventh time I have had the tiers removed and the beads cleaned and resealed. I have to put air in every few days. I spoke with customer care and they have no interest in this. They say it is the salt and there is nothing they can do. It is out of warranty and I may just have to buy new rims or live with it. Dose any one have an idea about stopping the corrosion?

Thank you

Bill

Have the rim and tire assembly immersed, find exactly where the leaks are. The salt should not encroach far enough down the sealing area (about 1.5inches) to cause that kind of leakage.

is there a chance that your rim is out of round without the people telling you? that happened to my grandma years ago the tires kept leaking air and they constantly resealed. and finally she went to a family friends tire shop and they told her that the rim was out of round and thats what was causing that.
