I stopped going to the yard above for this reason. Probably the last time I went they had a pile of 80s aftermarket VW rims in the aluminum pile. Nope, no buy.

There are a couple smaller yards around me that still do, but yet to see anything epic show up. I get aluminum & steel plate from them barely priced over scrap.
