water staying in methods

[rap67]

try it with Fuel trophys...theres enough for a drink of water on a hot day..

I leave rags tucked in each rim over night on the nights i wash it and then wipe down the water marks the next morning....

no way to avoid it, you can only wipe it clean after it dries...

drives me nuts, but not much you can do about it. I use a cordless leaf blower (18v Ryobi or 18v Makita) when I wash the truck to blast the water out. But puddles or rain it gets in there, the dirt sits at the bottom, evaporates and leaves nice dirt "stains" all around the inside ring. I hate it lol

You mean like skid marks

Happens all the time after I wash my truck. Once I dry my truck from the self serve car wash to my house, I'll just finish drying the wheels with paper towels and that solves it.

I have found a fix for this...

Drills some ³/16" holes into the rim. The water will then drain and/or blast out depending on current tire pressure.

Record the trial session

black caulk may solve it too (try this before Joseph's method...)

I do basically the same thing. I wash it at the self serve wash by my house. Dry the truck but leave the wheels alone until I get home (about a 5 mile drive). When I get home I usually windex the windows and then spray the wheels down with windex too and wipe them down. Never see water around the edges after that.

Could be worse, you could have a flange double the size like my new BMF Pro Series Wheels. With a pump, I can wash the truck with the amount of water collected. And they say Raptor owners don't care about the environment

My Methods do the same thing. If it bothered me, I would probably put a few rubber foot pads in the groove to disrupt the centrifugal force.

I'd go with something as tall as the lip and less "round", but this will give you the idea...basically water speed bumps.
