How much should I expect to pay for a wheel from a salvage yard?

Looking at getting a 2001 Honda 15" 7spoke 4 lugnut aluminum alloy.

I'm pretty sure the dealer would want me to sign over my first born and no local salvage yard has it.

Probably about $25-50 depending upon where you get it. Some yards are so proud of their merchandise you may want to look elsewhere and some have no clue and you can walk out with killer deals. Asking here is a waste of time, we still have phones so give a few salvage yards a call. I have walked out of salvage yards with many killer deals over the last 25 years so you may get lucky too.

Sounds about right.

Ended up costing me $75, but then again I believe they were the only salvage yard in the state that had these. Still less than a third of dealership price.
