I bought a used car yesterday and have never dealt with aftermarket tires. I am a very plain person when it comes to vehicles, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Anyways, I was wonder if someone might be able to help me determine which wheels these are.

Someone already told me that the brand of tire on there isn't the best, but it will do for now till I can afford to get some new ones (the tread if you can't tell is starting to get a bit thing on the sides.

Thanks in advance!

Wheels are 18x8 Kraze KR193's as I believe someone else mentioned. Tires are Delinte DH2's in 235/50/18 (if you ever need to get new tires, this is your tire size for this wheel).


The tires themselves were born ~February 28th-March 3rd 2022 so they are fairly newish, likely available for installation around ~May 2022, and come with a 50k mile warranty. I believe they are sold at or around 10/32nds of tread depth, and you can just pop a ruler or tread depth gauge in there in those deeper channels, but towards the center of the tire, not the shoulder (ideally you'd want to measure center, center left 1/3rd, center right 1/3rd for the best measurement). If you're super, super unsure about measuring things, you can always do the "penny trick", This tire will have usually 3-4 different rain channels going down the middle of the tire, take a penny and have Abe's head pointing down. Place the penny into the channel and eyeball it from the side. The general rule of thumb on the "penny trick" is that if the tread doesn't touch abe's hair, replace your tires now (2/32nds or less tread depth), if it touches his hair but not his forehead, replace them soon (less than 4/32nds of tread depth), and anything above that you're good. If I had to absolutely eyeball a guess from this photo, you're at somewhere around 6-7/32nds of tread depth or maybe slightly better and I think if you toss a penny in there its probably middle of his forehead, maybe even working on his eyeline.

Reading those tires are asymmetric non-directional, you could likely cross rotate them to better distribute the wear pattern. Helps longevity of tire, specifically side wall, keeps noise down during last miles of tire life.

Just put Falken G5 Pro a/s on Impreza from Discount tire. Very happy, actually had them two sets ago (g4 I think) and no complaints, very good tire. Wife had Goodyear tires put on last time, absolutely garbage compared to the Falken. Goodyear sidewall prematurely failed, also very loud tire.

Thank you all for the replies. Still getting used to these tires, not sure if I will continue with low profile. Roads here aren't bad, but still a bit more bumpy than I am used to. They do make the car look a bit better, though. Tread is pretty good, but the wear on the sides is a bit more than the picture captured.
