Not knockin you or anything but whenever I've considered buying rims, I've always factored in what tires I'm gonna wrap them with. That's always been a "package deal" for me. Never bought one without the other.

You can find used tires all over the forums, but yeah you should've bought your wheels and tires as a package.

yea lesson learned looking back I honestly could have found a decent set of rims/tires on craigslist and if there was any damage or anything I could have had them redone but oh well for now they look good in my room lol

Grab some decent used tires off craigslist. I always buy used tires until I finally decide what combo i wanna permanently run on new rims. Youll probably chew threw them anyways depending on your set up
