Default 2006 IS350 Chrome Wheels crack???

I'm trying to figure out whether or not one of my wheels has a crack in it. I have to pump my tire once every 2 days. The tire is brand new.

I've heard multiple people having problems with their Lexus chrome rims. Anyone had an issue like that?

When wheels are chrome plated it is harder to seat the bead of the tire since the chrome smooths the bead area. some times the installer must rough up the flange of the wheel and/or apply some type of sealer/adhesive to the flange to get a airtight seal
