HELP..GOT RIMS CAN'T DRIVE IN THE RAIN
Poeple help me.
I just got 17" konig appael rims w/ low profile tires (5 spoke rim)...anyways every time I drive in the rain regardless if I'm driving fast or slow. i hear this flutter sound coming from the wheels. i feels and sound like the water is flutter through the rim and spraying directly under the car. and it gets even worse even i make turns, loud fluttering noises...does anyone know what this is?...can it be fixed.?

Rep Power: 0 well thanks guys for your feedback..putting on my stocks would defeat the purpose of even buying rims in the first place don't you think?...changing my tires everytime it rains would be retarted to me at least...do you guys think that the fluttering sound would go away if a got rims with more spokes on it????? or does it happen to all rims regardless of the style?

It might help if you posted what kind of tires you got. Maybe the wheels are mounted with the rotation backwards?[hr]
