Tire and rim score

I came across these rims and tire on C.L.

4 rims and 4 almost new 31/10.50/R15 BFG long tail tires

I think they are called turbine rims ?

I have a set of those wheels I'm getting ready to toss... Yes they are called Turbines. Various manufacturers made them from what I've seen. Not any new ones I've found though. Everybody want 20+ inch Rockstars these days...

If anyone cares, you can convert to 16" rims by snagging a set of rims from a 2001-2004 Tacoma (#69354). This allows you to run common metric passenger tires instead of 15" LT tires which are often more expensive. I managed to score a set of rims and tires for $300. The tires are 255/70R16 which are the same as 30x10's. They ride great.
