lol how bad does it leak ... i mean mine is always garaged and i very RARELY drive it in the rain so i dnt think id care but does it leak enough to like start gettin enough water in there to like start getting that bad stale water smell?

no. well it did once, but i left it out in some torrential austin downpour, it musta been just at the right angle b/c it had an inch or two of standing water, basically filled up where the jack is, not in the actual trunk though. never smelled; and really, other than that one time it has never done that. it would actually stay in the trunk, then when i opened it it would pour out on me lol. it's really not that bad, but if it was not garaged or if you carried stuff back there consistently, i'd say no just to be safe.

this is a complete threadjack now, lulz, but if you were to do the switch and you had it and had a problem or whatever, i'd switch back with you in a second; i wouldn't want you to have something bunk on your car.

lol nah man i NEVER have anything back there and also like i said i RARELY drive it in the rain lol so i think it would work out just fine ... plus its getting to the point of me needing these rims gone you already know why so yeah id rather someone who wants em have em and me get sth in return coz i dnt really need the cash now and plus ive looked at the pics closely it looks like it would be just fine lets see how the sale on the rims go and ill definitely let you know asap

sweet dude! i just re-showed her your wheels so she's excited. ha ha, awesome. if we do it, do you have tuner lugs? i may need to order some locking ones b/c her car stays in the driveway and someone will want those BADASS wheels!!!

rodjonathan

iTrader: (6)

lmao actually i have an autozone set and its locks too all 20 of em lol and i think my stock lugs will fit the new rims so you can have the ones i have if you want ... oh and just fyi it looks most likely that we will be doing the swap coz she isnt giving me a straight answer about em so ima wait like a few days and then just set up our trade LOL

iTrader: (3)

ha ha sweet. who isn't give you a straight answer, a potential buyer? damn her! lol

ok cool. well i don't want to leave you high and dry...i didn't realize i could just pick some up at autozone...

rodjonathan

iTrader: (6)

yeah you can thats where i got mine i couldnt see myself spending a hundred or two on lugs and autozone had em and like i said if my stockers fit then you can just have mine ... and no the she who isnt giving me a straight answer is my fiancee! lol but i have a plan ima go a few days without mentioning it then swap and if she asks ima say you never got back to me so i sold em lol
