Buying wheels - wheels only or wheels & tyres?

If you were in the market to buy a set of 4 or 5 used, excellent condition genuine LR wheels, would you rather buy a set of wheels with premium branded, undamaged, decent tread life left tyres on them , or would you rather just buy the wheels and arrange to get and have fitted your own tyres?

Bought many sets with tyres, had some real bargains over the years where the price for both is less than the price for a new set of tyres on there own.

If you’re buying on photo’s and description alone you have to trust the seller to a certain extent, but I haven’t come unstuck yet Thumbs Up

I did mean buying used wheels with tyres on (or not) from someone privately. Wasn't thinking take offs specifically Thumbs Up

Yep I got a set from Dan absolutely spot on, mind you that was in the day when Duckworths answered your e-mails. Geoff

I bought a set of 5 L405 502 model wheels fitted with Pirelli Verde All Season M+S from EBay 2hen I picked up my L322.

One tyre was brand new and the 4 others had 6mm of tread. The wheels were used with a few light scratches but no kerb damage.

Picked all 5 up for £425.

I don’t care either way. As long as the overall price is good then I’m happy.

If I don’t like the tyres that are on wheels I like I value them as worthless.

I've had my Westie over 3 1/2 years and covered 75k miles and never visited a tyre supplier to replace any tyres. Very Happy Very Happy

I bought a set of wheels and tyres off Stan and then my current set of 21's brand new off Red Merle, in both cases for less than just buying tyres on their own. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

It does mean I have a couple of sets of Westie wheels and knackered tyres in the garden which is now causing me some serious grief with SWMBO Whistle Whistle 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

I would just buy the rims as I tend to be very specific with the tyres I want.

Update:
The person who bought our four Style 5004 alloys only wanted the wheels as they’d bought their own new tyres. Wasn’t interested in our part worn.

I’d prefer with tyres but I would not pay much of a premium. I’d also like to have my cake and eat it! L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
