Please, please, please tell me you got it checked out by an independent
mechanic. Rentals are abused beyond belief. I have a friend who works
for Enterprise and you would not believe the things his customers do to
his cars.

They're probably the stock Sport wheels (FYI, "Sport" is the bottom of
the trimlines on Durangos, then SXT, then SLT, then R/T then SLT+). A
rental car company would not upgrade rims. They definitely aren't Ram
wheels, unless someone converted the vehicle to a 5-lug pattern.
