    I bet you getting 200 to 250 or so as that's what dealer pricing is most times.

    Shred is $200 here in kansas city. The smaller towns in ks theres less or no competition so they pay alot less. You giving up the alloys with tires for shred, just the steelies id assume? There is definitely a volume game going on here the get premium prices, like anything else. I found a local guy i outsource my tire/wheel breakdown work to, he charges $7 each and provides disposal of the tires for free if necessary. That way i have a nice stack of clean aluminum wheels. I just throw the tires/steel wheels that are not resellable back into the car when i sell if for shred.

    that works if your going to sell them for scrap, why scrap out good alloys when you can resell them
