£25 per wheel with tyres?, don't think that is too bad. Depends on how much your current alloys are worth with tyres?.

As long as they bolt on, does it REALLY matter what condition they are?

£100 for four steelies... What a rip off! I paid £20 for 4 at my local scrappy. Wasn't going to argue at that price..
