Well, after the trade in of my old Cavalier what I owe is $18000. So I paid around $21000 after taxes and everything. And I was thinking about just going to tirerack.com or something and getting some 17s with tires mounted on them but I guess it'd be wiser to look for something used first. I'm just not sure what to look for exactly when searching on a site like craigslist; a site like tirerack makes it easy for someone like me to find exactly what I am searching for. (confused)
I know one thing for sure though, I don't want to have to mount and balance tires on the same set of wheels twice each year. Having a second set for winter would make my life a great deal easier.
