Hasn't anyone else heard/experienced this?
Yes...I have that problem as well as a number of HRE owners that I know. The water just sits in a puddle at the bottom/base of the inner well.

I have Kinesis K58R. The car will shutter a bit at roughly 60-70mph...above and below, it seems to be fine.

Experience it all the time whenever there is a decent amount of rain....today especially at the meet.

f110's are one piece wheels are they not? You don't have a choice on step vs reverse lips.....

You guys are right, reverse lip does appear to have a bigger look to it, I didnt noticed that until you guys pointed it out.

With step lip, 19" looks as if it is only 18" (from side view of course).

The wheels Im probably going to buy is either Kinesis (mesh design) or Gemballa (mesh design).

Thanks,

Gemballa's new design 19's have a step lip.
