Surely there is a tire lock/clamp? and you have tightened it?
If there isn't... i'd get down to the bike shop and buy one. Drill the rim out to accept it (opposite the valve hole). It will stop the tire from turning.
Check where the rim is joined (some wheel builders put the valve hole opposite) in this case put the rim lock at 120 degrees. Rims also come in different widths, so make sure you get the right size. Also if your drilling the rim, check there will be room for the nut and washer of the rim lock, the angle of the spokes can get in the way for tightening.
Almost like the KLG plug in my 1925 Triumph Funny how these things have a 2nd or 3rd life. Admittedly the vintage plugs didn't have the electrodes joined.
Wayne...
Three electrode plug was standard fitment in VW Golfs etc in 1989.
Now, back in the days of yore..... early 80's, I remember being awestruck by big Charley Demathieu who was Eddy Lejeunes mechanic at the time. His party piece was to pull a tyre of the rim with his hands, deflate the tyre stand on the bugger then pull tyre and tube away together.....now that was impressive.
Braithwaites Ghyll today, it's approx 3/4's of a mile of green & slippery beck & there's two big waterfalls which the water keeps washing away, we usually have them to alter each year but every now & then it's a total rebuild. They sorted out the bottom waterfall a few weeks back, it was just a refurb job, the top waterfall was a complete rebuild.

The tories have a real problem which is why their conference was all doom and gloom.
I feel sorry for them as there big chance to prove how they could be an alternative to the the present government say two years ago has almost been scuppered by the gigantic debt the country is in due to the banking bail out and recession. Can they turn anything around in 5 years as they will no doubt win the next election?
In some ways they should walk away now as there hands are tied and the taxes we will have to pay and the cuts in services will mean that any idea that they can do any good will be spoiled.
Apart from the fact that they are no different as far as expenses are concerned. I've no time for any of them, to be honest.
My solution? Go to work earn a few bob pay some tax send my kids to school in the hope that when I am old enough to retire (65 lab 66 tories?) theres enough in the pot for me to play with the bikes and fettle in the warm sunset etc etc.
Retire at 66, in your dreams, most of us workers will have to work till we drop.

If it turns out to be a no go you could always break it and hopefully recover most / all of the money.
From the sellers description I think you have to buy, as said above the time to look and ask questions is before you bid.
