3 piece wheel air leak
 
I parked at an angle and with the wheel turned. Had a slow leak, filled with air and now it's all good. Could this be cause the bead wasn't sealed and the angle of wheel(tire) ?

Air leaks generally don't fix themselves, you had an air leak you could hear? Then put air in it, monitored it for a few days and it's holding air? I would Get out a water hose and run some water over it to see where it's bubbling.

No doubt, has anyone had issues with the way the Wheel is turned or at a crazy angle?

i agree with Sylvan, soap and water test it and find the leak. There's a leak somewhere

I'd try tightening the valve core first. Those can come loose and it is an easy fix, but don't over tighten. You can still test that by dumping a bit of water on it. Reason I'd try it first is because you don't have to take the wheel off the car.

Thanks for all input. I know how to check, properly for leaks and maybe I wasn't clear enough about my issue, jus wonderin if anyone else had the same issue of parking a certain direction. Also imma check all the Bolts make sure they're not leaking air. I did have them powder coated 4 months ago so it was all disassembled.
