    What Are My Tire Size Options for the 14" 2000 Factory 4-Lug Rims?

    If you're gonna get non-oem then just take it to Discount Tire/America's Tire and ask them. Unless its for a thicker tire to get a more comfortable ride, I don't suggest wasting your money on bling/showoff stuff. & Besides, cars w/ that stuff get stolen/broken into more often.

    Should I Buy This Car? Please Help

    Have a qualified and experienced mechanic you trust check it. Hell, have it checked by three different mechanics just to be sure. Check to see if the car has been modified. Does it have a new engine or transmission? If so, what is the mileage of it/them? My AZ DMV said the Title reported...
