Aughhhh

Oh wells, I'm going to pull a brandon and sell my recently bought wheels (J/k Brandon ). The reason, Through low speed turns, there is a slight rubbing issue in the rear (My car is low) and also, when I removed my BBS to put on my new wheels, I notice that one of my outer CV boots is ruptured and has already lost some grease. I would like to fix this problum before it get any worce and before the end of this month. So I need the cash...Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, plus I got some great pics

IIRC it isn't too hard to fix the rubbing in the rear.. You just have to take the rubber weatherstripping off and maSSage the inner lips a little.

Just a heads up.

240's are over rated and just suck money out of your pocket (no not aftermarket parts cause those are cheap, just maintenance on a 12+ yr old car). I'm a former owner and SUPER glad I got rid of mine. Also your friend is a punk. Dare I say I caught him racing his friend in a 350z at 5 one afternoon.

No offense because you know I have mad man love for you but I don't think they look good on your car.

Doesn't match it or something...I dunno it just doesn't look right.

Was it a white 350z? Cuz both of them are in this car crew called "final result". And your right, 240 are a money pit. My buddy just had to change his entire brake system. They both drive like that....I told them it's going to get you killed one day. Or even worce, take out an innocent person. But, they keep driving like that reguardless of my advice.. Hey, next time you see them driving like that.... call the cops. Even though there my boyz, they need to wake up and see the light.
