Tires cupping

I bought these rims/tiresfrom a friend for $600. Driving home, when I drove faster than 60mph, my car started shaking and it never did this when my stock tires were on. I took them to get balanced and rotated and the mechanic told me that the tires were cupped. To get 2 new front tires it is going to cost me $300, which would be $900 total. For that price I can almost get a brand new set of rims & tires. My friend also told me that he can get me 2 new tires for $60 each. Should I just keep the rims and buy the 2 new tires or get my $ back and ride around on my stock rims? Sorry don't really have a question, just need somewhere to vent my stress and frustration!!!

what kinda rims and tires were they?

I don't know what kind of rims. They look similiar to the Konig Toxins. The tires are Euro A/T.

you bought rims and you dont know what they are? What size did you get?

My advice is for the next time you purchase something... plan it out MUCH better than this go around.
