New Tires maybe wheels

Hey guys,

I picked up a set of 285 michelins LTX M/S tires on a set of XLT Rims yesterday. They are brand new just a little over 600 miles on them when this mans teenage daughter got the 99 PSD and decided she wanted nicer rims and some micky thompsons. I got them for a pretty good deal (700) so I thought it was hard to pass up.

I am planning on selling the rims but I kinda like them, what do you guys like better the Lariat wheels or the XLT Wheels?

They are nicer, I think I'll just spend the 50 bucks and get them swapped and rotated and put the XLT rims up on the market.
