Who did your work? Are you sure it was leaking from the tire bead and not the valve stem?
I saw it with my own eyes, the same wheel works and the same guys that have done the wheels and tires on my porsche, subaru and former lotus.

Squirting water along the bead you can see bubbles coming up just about everywhere.

Maybe my wheels are screwed up, but all four? Doubt it.
