Has any one noticed on some of the new wheel rim designs like the 03 Astro Van , that they allow for water to sit in a pocket. When this freezes it puts the wheel out of balance. I couldn't drive mine down the highway over
90 km per hr.,yesterday because the vehicle shook too much. I see other manufacture's have similar rims that might support water to "pocket". Not a problem in the south but you would think that this would have thought of when they designed the rim?? This pocket with no drainage also supports brake dust and dirt to form thus causes further balancing problems. Anyone else notice this?- posted
