What does this wording mean?
No - unless the customer has or is fitting alloy wheels
My car has alloy wheels as do most cars on the market today.
What about if you are changing the wheels as well as the tyres?

I suspect they want to knwo if you are moving the alloys into the shed while steel wheels with winter tyres are fitted or, the winter tyres you got cheap came on alloys. Basically they want to know if you are changing the wheels as well as the tyres as it may affect the risk (add alloys to a car that didn't have them)No - unless the customer has or is fitting alloy wheels

This has been floating around for a while but to me it misses the point. I would imagine that a large percentage of people using winter tyres also change over to some winter wheels, rather than changing tyres twice a year on the same set of wheels.
So my insurance company don't care if I run winter tyres, but what if I run winter wheels?
