tire virbration when it rains..

something very strange when it rains my wheels vibrate causing my steering wheel to shake. i have iforged wheels the classics in 19" it only happens when it rains any speeds over 70mph's doesnt shake under 70. i have general tires on the rims.

I've heard of this problem with certain multi-piece wheels where there is water inside the barrel when it rains causing instability. As far as I know there's nothing you can do about it. Drive slow and safe.

yeah thats what i kinda figured it was water getting caught in the wheels sad to say on such a high end wheel and the price of them for this to happen.

I have the same issue with my 1 piece 19" rims. I think it is more of a clearance issue with the tires and wheel well.

For HRE and iForged wheel owners this is because there is a channel inside the wheel barrel that will/can hold water when it rains. It will cause the vibration. Everyone I know who has the multi-piece version of their wheels always have to dry that groove out after a car wash.

that is very strange i did drop my car in the front so its lower but never expect the iforged wheels to do this. i wish there is a solution to this.
lemme tell you it is annoying when you clean the car and the water sits in side and the rims then are nice and clean and you forget that the water is sitting in there, when you start driving gets all over your rims.
