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.
