Yours are just a bit different then mine, Mine actually have a sphere in the middle yours is flat (or somewhat flat) and has AR logo weird. I'd get some chrome lugs and valve stem as well to finish em.

Sadly the two worse tires hold air and the two new ones don't . I filled em up all 4 and than washed them at home and where the rim and tire meets there were air bubbles being forced out and it's loud enough to hear. Is there an at home fix or is goin to a tire shop my only option

If you have a compressor, you could let all air out.Use a board or something that sits on tire right where it is leaking. Stand on it so you make some gap where between the rim & tire. Mix a little water & shampoo (slippery yet will not harm rim or tire) together and spray it in the gap. Air tires back up to max PSI on side wall to help seat the bead. While it is airing up, use a rubber mallet and beat on tire where it is leaking to help it seat. If it was me, I would take them back to installer. Either they took a chuck of bead out when they installed them, or there is crap left on the rims from the last tires, which you probably would have noticed. I would bet it is the first. I would mark the tire where it is leaking with a grease pencil or chalk and tell the shop manager that you would like to see the tire when they break the bead (squeeze tire till it comes off rim edge) I've seen plenty of new guys ruin the bead of a high performance stiff low profile tire while installing. Check date on old tires. I looked up Michelin Pilots and found none made today that matched your tread design. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoSidewall.do

Chevman your awesome. I'm bringing them to a shop tomorrow to get them taken off and fixed. I think it's cause two of them had stuff siting on them in his shed . They were all flat and had to be pumped up and just my luck the two good ones failed. I'll let you all know the results tomorrow and hopefully I'll be running all 4 tires not2 !!!

Probably just need the inside of the rim cleaned up and put some sealing goo in there. Either that or it's bent, hence why you maybe got 'em so cheap.

The rims themselves, minus SOME chrome peeling on the inside and just some wear (they're going on a few years old + being stored in a bad shed) they look fine. Curb rash a bit but nothing TOO major. I better not be told that its bent , or this guys gonna hear from me.

I had a bit of leaking on my 18's awhile back, you could hear the air on mine as well. They ended up fixing it by putting something in their to seal it. This is probably common on Casinos so I wouldn't sweat it. Had something to do with just a bit of corrosion or something. It's weird how yours differ from mine.
