Wheels galore

Checking out an establishment for some new tyres, I became caught up with a challenge to upgrade for some new wheels as well.
However, upon inspection I was confronted with the price. I was staggered and when inquiring if the cost included the tyres, I received "that look" of sheer unbelief from the staff.
It appeared that if I could afford the wheels then tyres were incidental. I'll stay with my current situation. Pity Christmas has passed as they would have been just the answer for a suitable gift item.
