I could be wrong but I thought most stolen wheels were sold for scrap. Popular models get targeted because there is a set price at the shady scrap yards and you get your cash fast. Popular, newer cars get especially targeted because big rims are in style and the standard rims on a new Civic have much more metal then one from a few years ago.
For sure some are resold though. Like my neighbor's escalade's giant chrome rims stolen yesterday I can just picture sitting out for sale at one of those lots on Rhode Island Ave by the MD border.

Haha ok that screenshot is pretty convincing. There is no doubt a lot of demand for em since everyone's wheels have been stolen!
