It's a pretty common occurrence with many rims. It has to do with the way the
rims were cast--some are more porous than
others. Before you go to the obvious additional complication of fitting tubes,
try breaking down the rims and painting
the inside of the rim with a good grade of epoxy paint (one with a high enough
temperature rating not to blister or
crack at running temps). That will seal that surface well, and should slow down
the rate of leakage to something
approaching normal.
Cheers.
