Not always.
Last time I got tyres locally I found what I wanted on the net and got a price then went in to the local tyre place and asked if they did them.
Yes they could get them and they quoted £90 a corner fitted (Goodyear AT/R's!!).
I told them I could get them I could get the tyres for £63 each + delivery, shown a print of the online quote and gave them a choice:- Did they want to come closer to the mainland price and supply & fit or did they just want to fit them at the £5 a corner he had already quoted!!  :?

I got them for £70 each, fitted & balanced!  :D

if you stick them on ebay with the alloys you should get £2oo minimum, i managed to flog mine on there for £22o with pretty worn goodyear ATs on em. S1 alloys seem to sell much better than the newer ones

Well, that's one option. Obviously, if I buy a wheel/tyre package, they'll already be fitted/balanced/etc (won't they?). Of course, wheels will cost more than getting the tyres fitted!

On the subject of wheels - are they generally a direct replacement, or do they change the offset, for example? If so, is that good or bad?

Also, what do insurance companies think of aftermarket wheels?
