I'm the happy new owner of a 2001 mag red coupe with 53,000 miles. I acquired it Saturday from the original owner who is the aunt of a friend. She seems to have been very meticulous and the car appears to be in very good condition. This week I'm having an oil change done at the same local dealer she used and will ask them to pull the records and check the car over, if needed.
There are were two things that were disclosed prior to purchase. First, the passenger lock fails to release occasionally. I'll have the dealer look into this.
The bigger issue is the car also has aftermarket rims and tires. I don't know much about this, but a quick check suggests that the tires are about as cheap as can be. They are Nankang Ultra Sport NS II (235 40R 18 and 255 35Z 20). The rims are Venti. I'm not a fancy guy and want to eventually purchase oem rims. So here's my question. My priority is to put good rubber on the car ASAP. Can I put the proper original size tires on these aftermarket rims, and swap the rims out later? Or must I switch the rims and tires at the same time?
Thanks for the advice which helped me select this vehicle. Your search feature has been helpful in doing the purchase research. I look forward to learning and growing into the wonderful automobile.
