Default slow leak on ES300 2002

Can't find leak on tire - suggested could be chrome on wheel worn out. Where do I go to fix it? Covered by Lexus?

1. You might want to try the ES forum. This is the LS forum.

2. It is very unlikely that Lexus would cover a 15 year old wheel. My suggestion would be to find a shop that straighten, repair or re-chrome alloy wheels. Dealers would know where to find these shops in your area as they use them for damaged wheels and in preparing used cars for sale. Alternatively, look on ebay or Craigs list for a used wheel.

Chrome is common to degrade. especially where the tire bead and tire touch. Have the take off the tire and scrape off the flaking chrome. Also you can use the rubber sealant they have on the wheel as well
