One common misconception is that the FX35 and the Murano are same when they are actually not. The FX is based off the G35/350z while the Murano is based on the Altima/Maxima.I ran a Carfax and it comes back clean, two owners total.

Most Vibe's came with 16" rims, the 17" rims were an option. If you get some 16" rims, you just need to get a lil larger tires to compensate for the difference in the rim size. If you go into the Rims and Tires section, there is a good tire size calculator that you can enter in your c...
