    I'd guess you couldn't buy those wheels and tires for half the asksing price of the entire car.

    I'd pimp it (at night).

    I don't know :hmmm: not a terrible look IMO for the size of those tires. I would not do it, but the car looks good! buy the car, sell the wheels for the price of the car....call it even :D

    That would be the perfect car if you live in an area that gets flooded out a lot.

    I think the Maverick is about the same height as the jeep in the background.
