Can alloy wheels become porous?
Can alloy wheels become porous? Our 2004 Honda Jazz has nearly new tyres on the original alloy wheels, but the tyre pressure drops quite quickly. Any ideas?

Yes. Get a set of equivalent size steel wheels, or a new set of alloys. Probably cost about £300 from www.tyremen.co.uk
