a steel wheel like a metro has is worth over $2 in scrap when any one of us brings it to a salvage yard and that is with the yard making money off the deal when they resell that scrap, so they have little reason to let stuff like wheels sit around longer then they have to.
Not sure on the current alloy prices for scrap but I had one yard tell me that they tend to crush those wheels first because of their higher scrap price.
