they end up in big heaps out in the woods around here.... i think it's $7 each, at this dump... twice that, if still mounted on a rim. YIKES! the dump guys hate doing car/truck tires.
the tire shops take them in, in bulk... to some place that shreds them.
an aluminum car wheel sells for 50 cents/lb, or more, as scrap. cast and forge-able alu... clean.
figure 10 to 12 bucks, each!
