well make up your mind, either it pulls to the right or it drives fine. can't be both. plus pulling is more related to alignment issues

Did you get it aligned before or after you bought the rims?

Same tires as before?

If not, then one of the "new" tires is bad. Probably causing something called "radial pull".

either that or because the wheels were used the wheel might be warped or damaged. OP. did you get the balance checked prior to putting them on?
