📊 What Determines Grade Value:
- Alloy Composition: Most auto wheels are 356 alloy, while semi-truck wheels are 6061; yards price these differently based on silicon and magnesium content.
- Attachment Removal: Lead wheel weights, steel valve stems, and plastic caps drastically reduce the per-pound value if left attached.
- Surface Treatment: Chrome plating and plastic 'cladding' are considered contaminants because they must be stripped during the smelting process.
- Volume & Logistics: Large stacks of rims are easier for yards to stack and ship in gaylord boxes or on pallets, often leading to better price tiers.
