I've had all 4 of my original steel rims leak air. All were solved by sanding, priming, and painting the lip of the rim where the tire seals. I used a rubberized rocker guard paint on mine. Some have warned that an undercoating type paint would eat the tire, but I guess my rubberized rocker guard paint isn't, because it's held fine.

Test yours by taking them off the car, laying them flat, and pouring a bit of water between where the tire meets the rim. You'll likely see bubbles, at least on one side.
