Why do you want to sell your steel wheels? Are they malfunctioning?
Have they displeased you?
Or are you going to put perfectly good wheels in a corner of your garage
and join the $500 a wheel club?
You should get LEDs too. Put the old, again "perfectly good' bulbs with the tires.
Steel Rims make for Nice Winter Wheels.

The OEM Maverick XLT alloys are even more in Canada. I asked for a quote for a set of four of them, with Ford sensors, wheel centers and Michelin winter tires at my Ford dealer last year.

They quoted me around $6000 Canadian! And I have the paper quote they printed.
That was even more than Tesla quoted for OEM Tesla wheels with snow tires, by about $2000.

I found some Lariat takeoffs on Facebook for $250 each and since I had ordered a Lariat to upgrade from the XLT, I went with them. Total with Michelins came to $2000 at a tire shop.

I doubt Ford sells too many OEM alloy winter sets. Dealers are always advertising that they are competitive with snow tire deals, but live in a different world.

When you drive down the street with your $1100 each rims, do people fall over, point and yell, take pictures? No. No. No. NOBODY CARES. Except when they nudge their buddy and say, "Looka that. The rims are worth more than the car." Nobody cares.

Dealers know that they gotcha - if youi need a factory replacement then it's either locate a used one or pony up for a new one from them. Add to that dealers know if it's an insurance claim the ins co will likely come thru and pony up.
This is true some of the time. They don't always "gotcha." There's plenty of factory parts available online at significant discounts; it just depends upon whether you can wait for your order. Some dealerships will also happily try and compete for your business and extend a discount to make the sale.

And insurance companies don't always pony up and pay; they sometimes find their own parts and have them shipping into you. I've had insurance companies on several occasions tell us to call "blank" and get the part; Oh, and here's what you're going to charge us for it, too. Yes, a small handling fee to do the work, then have to return the used part to their supplier. If there's an issue with the part they tell us to use, do they get the headache of dealing with their supplier -- heck no! It's bad enough if the customer's vehicle has now been down an extended time due to their penny-pinching efforts, but now I have to waste hours trying to fix a problem on their behalf.

Chrome looks nice but they don't look to sturdy. Spokes are kinda thin.
Don't plan on taking it off road more for show and if I want to go off road I put stock back on same for winter. But I agree not good rims for off road. Lol

You might see if you have a local pull and pay yard close, I just bought a set of 16" mags for my Mercury SUV for $300 w/lug nuts.

Well on the bright side it’s a 100 less than they quoted me so you are in positive territory.
Good luck ,I think they believe the golden goose is in their corner.

I have not seen "Cheap Steelies" for sale under $100, so I plan to get one of these for my Snow Tires.
Keep an eye out on craigslist and Facebook. XL owners will dump their steelies for dirt cheap to be rid of them (unless they also keep for winter set). People without space will need to sell them. Be patient and you should easily score some for $50/wheel or less.
