Short answer: Wheels with tyres can be sold, but most scrap buyers will want the tyres removed or will deduct for them, and removing a tyre needs the right equipment, so the simplest approaches are to take the wheels to a tyre shop that will remove the tyres for a small fee, or to sell the wheels with tyres to a buyer who handles the tyre separately and accept a lower price.

List Free →Why tyres are a problem
Tyres add weight that is not aluminium, and they must be removed before the wheel can be processed, which costs the buyer time.
Getting them off
A tyre shop can remove tyres quickly with a machine, and many will dispose of the tyres properly for a small fee.
Selling with tyres on
Some buyers take wheels with tyres, but they will deduct for the tyre and the handling, so the price is lower than for clean wheels.
