2004 aluminum wheel slowly losing air due to corrosion at the beads. First AL wheels I have had experience with. Mech said water got in there. Hmmm?? How? Moist air from the compressor? Don't see how water gets in by the bead. Strange - had a new tire mounted on that rim last year. Shop uses liquid soap to ease the beads on. Think that caused the corrosion? Sorta suspicious, being the same rim.
