Wheel repair
I've purchased a set of ZR-1 aftermarkets from AFS about 4 years go. 2 months ago, I had to replace one of my tires and now the new tire won't hold air for more than a week at most.
I finally took it in today to have to tire reseated. When the shop was looking it over, they discovered the leak was was in the wheel, on the inside near one of the spokes.
I'm trying to figure out my options here...So far I have
1. Call AFS and replace the wheel.
2. Repair the wheel, if possible.
3. Squirt some Slime type patch in the tire and hope that will fix the problem.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm putting the car away for the winter, so I don't have to do this right away.

It's your car and your body, don't take chances.
