I heard patches were better than plugs, so why is my tire still leaking?

It seems like the car is playing a nice beat for me to bop my head to as well as throwing liquid on itself to cool it down better. Is this a new Chevy feature? If so what’s the name of this feature so I can make sure to get it on all my future cars?

How long would you wait for your car to warm up during a zombie outbreak?

I know we’re supposed to wait for it to come to temperature but would it hurt to take off right away?

I hear you gotta tap these with a hammer when they don't work. Hope it starts after I put it back together 🤞🤞

Will these wheels fit my car?

1 Upvotes

Hi I have a 2016 Nissan qashaqi Tekna. I hit a mega pothole and cracked 2 alloy wheels. Im looking to replace the set with a cheap set from ebay and just want to sanity check myself. Will these ebay wheels https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196316677151 fit onto my car. Says they are J11 and are the correct age?

Any ideas. Below is what I had on the car. Thanks for any help.
