    Total cost for one at the local PnP (LKQ) comes to $10.64 total (+ the $2 charge to get into the yard so it would be $12.64). That's for any steel wheel 15 inches and under.
    If there is a tire on it, they will charge you $5 more to remove the tire or you can buy the tire also for an additional $22.

        Already have my original set of white painted 12's with no tires (under 10%), the original steels on dad's car currently and the ones we just got with studded snow tires... all stock steels but if you have a set of Aluminums with center caps and good all seasons I would like to get a set for cheep

        YOU can come over but will have to talk to dad... we will give you money for gas if you want... it's just that we don't have a good enough car to go farther then north and east of Seattle and south of olympia... dad's Festiva would do it but we don't want to put anymore miles on it then we have to and the other car that we would feel ok driving long distances, our, 2001 Hyundai Accent currently needs brakes and it's heater controls readjusted)
