Check Craigslist and Facebook Market Place too. Around here a lot of yards closed up. Larger dismantlers pick clean valuable parts that move and process everything else pretty quickly.

I saw a set of 4 Dart steel wheels on Facebook last year for $50. I should have jumped on those but I didn't. Just bought a pair of factory 17" last week at $65 each. They are over $150 each on E-bay. The yard was going to charge me $20 per wheel since I didn't have a core. Really? A core on a wheel? I told them I was going to put snow tires on the wheels so I wouldn't have a core. They knocked it down to $10 per wheel. Still made me mad. I should really try to find two more. You're supposed to run 4 snow tires...not just two on the front.

The steel wheels are worth $$. The standard tires on those cars were crap in snow. Most Dart owners were buying up standard steel wheels and mounting a set of winter tires on them.

I know in 2016 - I could sell a set of those steelies for $100 per wheel.


I am not rich...but I get off my ass everyday to make sure I am not broke!

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

Surprise! Some steel wheels are worth more than aluminum ones. Because they bend so easily, they need replaced more often.

I have bought a set of aluminum wheels for not much more than a pair of steel ones. That is, of course, if the rims are the same diameter. Going to the aluminum wheels upgrades the look of the car and puts an end to most of the more common problems with bent steel wheels. Not all, but most.
