I know this is bumping an ancient thread but I thought it was relevant to what I'm asking. The search button brings back ridiculous old threads.
After having my 2pc. Volk GTS' for a few weeks now, i've found it a bit harder to get the wheels completely dry. I've gotten input from other GTS owners and done what they have suggested. I washed the wheels, dried the wheels as best I could, and also dried the inner barrels.
It looked as though everything was completely dry and spot free. I drove the car to the gas station and I get out and realize there are still water/dirt spots on the wheels. (i'm guessing the water was hidden between the lip and the face of the wheel and the lug seats).
My new plan is drying lips and inner barrels as best I can. Then hitting the wheel with a leaf blower to get all the water out so that the lips won't get dirty when I drive the car around.
Electric leaf blower in question...

Any input?

oooold thread, but at least you have a legitimate bump 
I don't know what all this leaf blower business is about. I just use a can of compressed air, like what you would use to clean dust out of your computer keyboard. Works great. Otherwise I just drive around for a little after washing, and wipe down when I stop.
