They have snow tires mounted on them now, so they will be only for winter for now, once the snows are worn out I will get them sandblasted and painted and then new rubber, now sure what yet though.
But this dedicated summer/winter tires are going to save me a ton of money, my tires will last twice as long now.
Those rims are off of a Defender 110, the guys wanted alloys for it so he bought some and these went up on Craig's List.
The tires that were on them had tubes in them!

Please don't! That way we can all go on imagining that Uncle Spike paid no less than $500 for said bumper, and he had to drive over 800 miles to pick it up...
