📊 What determines the value of aluminum wheels and rims:
- Alloy grade: Alloy 356 (auto wheels) and 6061 (truck/semi wheels) are the benchmark clean grades with the highest per-pound rate.
- Chrome plating: Electroplated chrome is nearly impossible to remove economically — these wheels are discounted to dirty/irony aluminum pricing.
- Plastic-faced wheels: Clad wheels with a plastic decorative face are separated by most yards and priced below clean alloy.
- Tire weights: Lead wheel weights still attached will get you flagged at the scale and lower the per-pound rate; pull them before selling.
