are you freaking serous

sis got a flat tire the other day and she go`s to get a new one and they tell her the rim in cracked, mmm ok today start calling around local yards (about a 50 mi around me) no one has a simple 16x7 steel wheel i dont wish bad luck on any one, but no crashed their 2013-16 dart around here a new one is $70-110 might as well get fancy rims maybe up it to a 17 in oh well life go`s on

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.

No , but they could be SERIOUS ..........

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.
