Best part........They were free!!

The guy that had them thought a few of them were bent,the car he had them on was feathering the tires bad...

Well the wheels are not bent at all,i personally think the car had bad struts on something like that causing the abnormal tire wear...

They look really nice. Do you think you might be able to get some sort of nissan center caps on them?

my 16" 4th gen rims have 225/55/16s on them, which is very close to stock diameter.

Hey, you can't beat free. Excellent pick up.

I was going to get a little bigger tire,but i am starting to like the way these tires look on it..I am also trying to stay away from the 4x4 look until i drop it..

Yeah,i cant believe the guy thought the wheels were causing the tire issues,they were in great shape..I had the tire shop put just the wheels on the balancing machine,they were perfectly in balance...Hehe,his loss,my gain..
