I hate my gay *** rims.......I have that problem with water too, I dont know if your guys' rims have this but mine do...My lip is like 4 inches, then there are the spokes, and you would think that behind the spokes would just be flat like the polished lip, wrong. The idiots at Racing Hart decided to put this bump just behind the spokes, so picture you were looking at my rims standing behind my car, you can see through the tires, on the left side its flat for 4 inches, thats my polished lip, the the spokes in the center which would look like a straight line, then 2 inches to the right of the spokes is a hill, that goes around the whole rim...the letter " U " sums it up pretty good, where the left part is the spokes, and the right part is the hill, after that little hill, it goes flat again for a couple inches.....whats the point of this HILL!!?? All it does is trap half a cup of water inbetween my spokes and this hill on the inside of my rim. I only use Chevron gas, so I take a bunch of their blue rags and keep them in the car, I throw them inside the rim to soak up the water when I'm done washing my car. I dread washing my car knowing I have to squeeze my hands inbetween my spokes to dry out a puddle of water......anyone else have the same thing? Or know the point of it? *RANTOFF*


By they way, your rims are sweet.....

Mine gets a puddle in the inside part of the rim too. But I have my son stick his hand inside the spokes and splash it away and the little that is left I absorb it with a towel and no more water.

I knew I had the boy for a reason

i have the same problem with my wheels as well. maybe its like that will all multipiece wheels.
to get the water out, i use a huge syringe(no needle) to suck out the water. i know some use turkey basters to do the same thing.

rofl.....turkey basters wtf....haha!

Well, I use those high pressure coin wash places to wash my car, and I usually blast the water out until the inside of the rim is clean, so the water is clear, then I throw a couple of those chevron towels on it to absorb, and I'm good, but its hard to get in between my spokes, wheels are in sig pic, you can see why....

I might have to get one of those syringes, then my girl will see it and be like wtf? lol, thanks for the advice! I need to pop out a kid and keep him in the trunk all the time, have him only come out to splash the water out, lol.....peace!

DO NOT USE A GAS LEAF BLOWER! Only an electric one.

It will spit oil all over your car. Luckily someone else already posted this warning before I stupidly coated my car with 2-stroke oil.

Default Sick wheels

Do you have the phone number of the shop you bought the rims. They look sick. How much with the Toyos.
