I used to work at a Cadillac dealer and I found most often when air was leaking past the wheel was just caused by corrosion on the wheel where the tire bead seats. All I usually did was dismount the tire and remove the corrosion from the wheel with sandpaper or something. I just recently discovered it may have been the lubricant we used to mount the tires. I have never had this problem until I mounted my snow tires there a while ago. It has been about 9 monthes and the tires finally needed replacement. When I removed the tires I found a LOT of corrosion right where the bead seats. I can't be positive that it is related, but it's the only thing I can think of. You might want to make sure when you get the tires mounted again, that whoever mounts them uses a lubricant designed for it.
Hope this helped.
