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!

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.
