Tires: Dear Mr. Smith, I recently..., plymouth breeze, auto recycling

Question
Dear Mr. Smith,
I recently bought a new car..well new to me. It's actually a 98 plymouth Breeze. When I purchased it nothing seemed to be a problem until recently. I dont know much if anything really about cars so please keep this in mind. Well first of all I lost my silver cap/rim thing and I obviously need to replace it, however I was wondering if you knew the approximate cost. Also Im not too sure if this has anything to do with tires but when I drive my steering wheel pulls to the right. Im thinking maybe I need an aliignment or something..lol..I know im horrible with this..Well if you can help me it would be well appreciated.. Thanks

Answer
Sarah,

Alignment?  Maybe!  Swap the front tires side to side. If the pull changes then it's tires.  If not, it's vehicle, probably alignment.

And the silver cap? I suggest you go to a junk yard, er, auto recycling center.  They should be able to hook you up pretty cheap.

Hope this helps.
