Default Crappy mornin...

So I got some new wheels for the car the other day 19x8.5's wrapped in some BFG G-Force KDW 2's. Of course took pressure test when after mounting them on the car and everything was good. Last night cleanin her up, and noticed the rear was down.... A lot... Down to 5 psi. At 230 a tire i was pissed. Filled it with the good ol' compressor and let her sit overnight. Lost 10 psi over night, so I pulled the wheel off. No puntures, hissing, or "foreign objects" anywhere. Brought it to STS Tire knowing that they do mount on custom wheels. They resat the tire on the rim, and handed it back. $27.10 later I had an extremely damaged rim. To make a long story short I refused to take the rim and tire home, and Im still waiting for the call on what they're going to do about it.
