18x10 bullitt with a pinhole leak in the wheel

[davepett]

Ordered a staggered set of 18x9/10 bullitts in Aug2012, dealership mounted them on the car but could not get the alignment in spec. I had always planned to lower the car....so the car sat till mid Sept when the lowering components were ordered/installed.

Got the car on the road in late September and noticed 1 tire/wheel would lose about 3 lbs/day. Dealership looked at the bead and valve but could not find the leak. Soon after winter came (Canada) and the car sat till now. I PM'd Shane on this site....he offered support....but I wanted to find the leak first before I got back to him....which I didn't (sorry Shane).

Yesterday, I filled up the wheel barrel to try to find the leak. Found the leak in the actual wheel, on the inside behind one of the spokes, here's a pic



I called AM, they are going to replace the wheel.

Thanks to AM for their excellent customer service.

Good stuff! Glad to hear one of our Mustang Experts took care of you with a replacement. I'm sorry you had to go through that to begin with..

Shoot me a PM when you're ready and we can finish up this suspension business, too!
