19" Chrome Wheel Corrosion

[Heidi2007]

I have a 2007 650i w/chrome 19" wheels. One wheel, the right rear, has a problem with internal corrosion. Every few months my tire loses pressure. The tire is removed and corrosion has to be wire-wheeled clean. After that procedure, the wheel holds air for a few months...only to lose air once again several months later! This has happened three times in 7 months!

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? Any advice as what I can do to prevent this from happening again?

All help is greatly appreciated!

Get the wheel refurbished,it's a bit expensive with the chrome wheels but you'll get rid of the headache once and for all.
Had same problem with my 19" wheel after I had em painted a different colour,every few days my tyre would be flat and it was SO annoying!
Eventually had to rub the whole wheel down and respray it again,was ok after that.

It is annoying as hell! At the risk of sounding obtuse, where does one get a wheel refurbished? I couldn't imagine bringing it back to the dealer, I'd have to sign over my house!

Thanks for your help.
