got £7 each for 14" rims a few months back.

would have thought a pound or so more for a bigger wheel.

Alloy's are as above between £5-£10 depends on where you take them cylinder heads are about the same BUT have to be completely striped down or they will take money off e.g guides,studs anything that aint alloy.
