Default strange sticky brown stuff

since fitting the 18" wheels a few weeks back I seem to be getting a strange thick golden brown syrupy liquid (smells sweet almost like marzipan and its damaging the paint on the wheels) coming from the valve hole area on three of them, took it back to the tyre fitter and he had no idea either, no air is leaking from them, anybody any ideas?

cheers
