Default almost new wheels

i got my wheels and tires today. I don't know what brand wheels they are, but the tires are205/40/17 kumho ecstas, and the rims are 17x7, now all need is new lug nuts and to lower this thing. The tires have 3/4 the tread left and no curbings onthe wheels. They set me back $200.

Oh I see it now. He has the wheel next to the wheel on his car. Duh. I didn't bother to notice the block holding it and the missing lugs....

I love them. The performance is more than I need and these specific ones are extremely expensive for my budget (~$125 each). But I think the regular old Ecstas are what I will get next. If you haven't bought lugs yet, I recommend Gorilla locking ones. I don't think they strip as easy as other locking nuts...
