Default Steel wheels - worth anything in scrap metal?

Just wondering (can't call anywhere since it's 7pm on a Sunday ) but would 4x 17" steel wheels be worth anything in scrap metal value? How much would they even weigh? (no tyres)

I looked on ebay, and they don't sell (BMW 17" steel rim) so wondered if they were worth anything in scrap, rather than just bin them...

I weighed in four 15" Mondeo steel wheels last week and got £5 for the four.
