YAY! Got a 09 Rolla S!

Hello all! My parents just bought myself a 09 Rolla S today as a college/graduation present! Love it! As a first time car owner and have little knowledge about cars, can you all give me some suggestions and give me some tips on how to take care this car? I've heard that you should break in the engines and whatnot but dont really understand the concept of it. I shouldnt go over 3000rpm or something like that? Im sure that this smart community can enlighten me about stuff like this. Thanks in advance!

P.s. I notice that my cars doesnt have real rims. It has hub caps over them. I really want rims on it. My friend suggested this rim for me. I wonder would it fit the tires I have now or would I have to get new tires if I would to get this.

Excellent choice wheels I love those, used to have a set of bbs on my vw golf looked just like them.

I think the tires will fit. You have 16 steelies? unless you go for 17 or 18' in which case you'll need new tires.

One question you'll want to ask is what about the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)? Are you gonna buy new sensors, have them moved over from the steelies along with the tires, or just live with the light that comes on the dash if you leave them off.

That's a nice grad present, congratulations that calls for with apple sauce pork chop! LoL
