Used car came with different wheels to those advertised

I bought a car with 18 inch low profile wheels and wish I hadn't. Tyres are much more expensive than more sensible ones.

One of our cars has 18 inch wheels , new it had 17/ 18 options..the difference in price of tyres is negligible and IMO looks better on 18s.  Maybe a slightly harsher ride of course

OP, if those wheels were not original you need to advise your insurer of the modification.

I was thinking the same and that notification will be every year so definitely worth checking.

What loss or detriment do you suffer as a result of the wheels being different?

I'll try contract the previous registered keeper asking who they sold it to, and which wheels were on. If they say it was sold to that dealer, and it had the original 18" wheels, then I can safely conclude the dealer swapped the wheels, and leave reviews to this effect.

What wheels were shown in the photos for the advert?
