Ok heres my dilemma. I have 17X7 ALT wheels with falken 205's. I have had them for about 7-8 months with no problem. Within the last 3 weeks 3 different wheels have had the valve stem leak at the base causing a flat and LOTS of inconvience for me. Is this common with aftermarket wheels, and if it is, are t here ways to protect against it? Thanks.

just get new vlave stems. Over time valve stems tend to crack due to heat and other factors.

I don't think it's a wheel thing. I had S-03s on my Si rims and every valve stem, one by one... seemed to leak.
