93 DX HB, sometimes battery needs jump

It's very rare, but sometimes the approximate 3 yr old Interstate battery has no juice. I don't have a meter, but some weeks ago my neighbor said battery
reading with engine off was slightly low--don't remember exact reading. Also,buying used, factory 14" rims from which years models would fit, and maybe
leave room for bigger brakes down the road. Thanks for reading and for any good info you might be able to send. Full disclosure: while I love the car and
want to take better care, I'm really very new to DIY, so thanks for your tolerance.

Battery might just have a cell that's on the way out, they're only looked $100 find ones with a 3 or 5 year free replacement warranty.
Civics up to 05 are the same bolt pattern, Honda Fit wheels work as well. Personally I think 15s look good on these cars, not a fan of rubber band tires.

Colin42, thanks for the info. I've been wondering about Honda Fit wheels, especially since I years ago heard that tires 180/60x15 might fit, and
that is what recent Fits that I've seen on dealer lots wear. My computer was down for about a week, so I am late thanking you for your time and
response. Further disclaimer: I'm way new to computers, for years I just went to various libraries to do web surfing and check my e-mails, with
the slowdown, libraries were all closed so I'm lucky to have gotten a notebook. With all that, I am still virtually computer illiterate.
