i feel like even q-tips won't even get up in there...the space just between the actual spoke and the lips is ridiculously small but somehow little rocks get stuck

oh that spot i get in there as close as i can with the qtip then try and stick a towel in there sortof floss with it

you could get a very small flat-head screwdriver and carefully get the rocks out then go in with the qtip.... you got all that sand down there

not having step lips and the lip finish is not helping haha im with you though soon as it rains seems like all the dirt/break dust ends up under the spokes between the lip

lol come on man the machining is so fine! you can see how i was saying it is polished but its been machined after

which in retrospect it wouldnt have been a big deal to get different lips for Gnosis wheels through Work bc they do have a full custom shop.... may have been a long *** wait though
