So I looked around car-part.com for some OEM wheels for my '99 accord sedan as a set for winter tires, and there were two junkyards within an hour of me that had a full set of rims. I called them up, and each said the price for a rim was $75 each plus the old wheel it's replacing. Now I may be missing something here, but that seems excessive for worn down rims that I'll need to clean and polish myself, especially when you can buy brand new ones for $125 each on ebay, and 15" aftermarket rims can be bought online for ~$360. Not sure why anyone would go to the junkyard for rims if this is typical.
I thought the typical price for a set of junkyard rims was about $150-200, and I've never heard of this taking your old wheel thing. I'm buying them as an extra set, so what if I don't want to give up my old wheels?
Unless one of you has an explanation, I guess I'll just be stalking craigslist for the next couple weeks.
