Problem with my RJ's

so ever since i got these wheels, i have had this problem of rusty water leaking out of holes on the wheel. It happens after i wash my car and wheels. For about a week after, whenever i drive it this rusty water spews out of the holes and makes everything orange. Does anyone else have this problem with the RJ Legends? Anyone have a suggestions on how to fix this?

i have a high powered air blower that i use but it does not work. When i try to blow the water out of one hole, all the water comes out and gets blown into another hole and so on. I have found out that there is an even bigger opening behind the holes where water is getting trapped and thats why when i drive its starts spewing all over the wheels.

WD40 in the holes should do you good
clean out the crevises first.
WD40 repels water and makes a barrier between the metal and water so you wont get rust anymore.

plug the holes from behind with a dab of silicone. I never had that problem, but i've heard about it from a few others. Thats just the rusty rotor water seeping out the heat vent holes.

I would've said the same. plug it with silicone

Out of curiosity, why are those holes there? strictly aesthetics?

Ron stated heat vent holes. I have the same issue I thought about the silicone idea but was to lazy to take them off and apply it. I used a high power blower and that worked for me. I'm applying the silicone before throwing them on this season.

Blackura TL is looking sickk.Wish those RJ's came in 19s.

I noticed this morning I had the same thing on my front left RJ rim, had them for 9 months and only now did it start happening. Will definitely do the silicone thing
