So how do you like the new tires? One question your rear tires were they new? Cause if they weren't and they are worn you are going to want to replace those asap. With the AWD system in the car if you have tires that are worn differently from front to rear or left to right, you will put strain on your differential and transfer case cause premature wear and tear on your AWD system. What happens is the rear tires are actually slightly smaller in diameter than the fronts are now and they spin more revolutions than the front ones do meaning wear on the differential and transfer case.

I put them up front. The rears will last the summer and I'll switch them then.

I like em!

well the tires are new and i'm sure they will last more than a week. i'm giving the tires away free basically one rim alone would cost that much. i'm giving 5 rims and tires for the price of one new rim. center caps and original chrome lug nuts too. where in the dealer you would have to pay for both separatley as well by the way thats $800 canadian which a bit less than US money
If those are snow/winter tires in the summer heat those tires would be eaten alive. In case you didn't know the rubber compound on snow tires are quite a bit different than normal all season or summer tires. I promise you those tires wouldn't last a week here in Texas! Rims are used so one rim isn't worth what your selling them for. Like I said though it is a good deal, your best bet would be ebay for sure. You should be able to get $800 bucks on ebay easily but make sure they realize you have snow tires on the rims. If I lived in Michigan I'd probably buy them but I'm in Texas...Although I paid $650 for my 18's that were used for a little over a month...

I'd stop wasting my time if I were you in trying to sell them on this forum, put your time into putting them on ebay. You should try becoming a real member and actually post other stuff before you try selling stuff to people. It irritates the life out of me and I am sure it does the same to others. We all know what the rims are or are not worth so you don't have to sell them to us. If you actually were around the forum for something other than selling us your rims you'd know that.
