Well we don't know until we get some photos

If they are manufacturers wheels with tyres specified that have done less than 2000 miles then they may be worth a near offer..New steel wheels by car maker can cost well over £100 each. Winter tyres of the make specified will be around £100 new

Second hand steel wheels can be had for as little as £10 each if you can find Ford Modeo wheels will fit your car

Winter tyres, 2nd hand at that mileage undamaged, half pricenew worth a punt

What I would not do is buy alloy wheels made by other makers/sellers cos that can cause all sorts of trouble with your insurer

Good place to get an indication of price is to look here

Often buying and paying online with appointment arranged to call for fitting brings savings. Kwik Fit doing 25% off winter tyres till end Oct I believe

I had set of 4 Volvo 16" alloys with virtually new Continental summer tyres on offer here down to £350. No takers but eventually sold the tyres locally for £100 and wheels (like new) went for £80 each

All depends on condition IMHO

Car breakers can often come up with a good set of alloys and tyres but invariably you'll need to buy winter tyres and pay fitting etc which makes steels with winters already fitted worth a punt
