Question Water entrapped on inner side ...

Hi , does anyone has experienced this. I bought a set of mag wheels and driving in the rain, The car suddenly have a lot of vibrations. I have worked in a garage years ago and I knew immediately that it was one or more wheel unbalanced...
I stopped the car and finally observed that there was water on the inner side of the wheels, The design of it makes the water stay in it and unbalanced the wheel. I removed all the water with a towel and everything has been ok ... for one mile! Then the same happens.. Any solution...?

Return the wheels? To collect water to the point wheel/tire balance is affected I believe is a serious design flaw.

Be sure to stress your concerns about the affect this imbalance flaw has on the car's behavior and as a result your concerns about safety and because of this you have lost all enjoyment from having the wheels on the car.
