I suppose it depends on where you live and how much effort you are willing to put into selling them, I've always bought premium tyres and VAG alloys, though in the case of wife's previous car, I bought in steel wheels with tyres fitted as that car was essentially a household "tool". I find that there are "winter tyre users" and "winter tyre haters" - the majority of winter tyre users know the limitations (life wise) of winter tyres and buy new only. These Michelin Alpins that I sold on had been used for 5 winters and 30K miles - they still had 6.5mm tread on them - that tread depth after 30K miles surprised me as I had been expecting them to last only roughly 20K miles before they were down to their minimum (winter tyre) tread depth, so essentially I did get the life I budgeted for out of them and any cash I got from the sale covered the cost of the steel wheels, VAG alloy wheels if bought almost new would not get much back after 12 years as the demand for them will have dropped as well as their condition.
Unfortunately I have never got round to painting my garage floor or making up "dollies" for the wheel sets, I do seem to have quite a few trolley jacks (steel) - a couple of pairs plus an odd one, but I also have a set f four Jackpoint Jakstands - these are very handy !
