I collected what I could find till I had a set. Didn’t worry about damage as I was planning to have them stripped and powder coated.

If only I could find them for under $150 a wheel.... I've tried trading with focuses I find at gas stations lol
They're often on Facebook marketplace, etc. for significantly less than that. There isn't a growing market for 15 year old Focus parts. ;)

Everyone around here wants $150+ per wheel for powder coating, sometimes not even including the clear top coat!

Man I wish, they're non existent around me, junk yards are bust but I check regularly... I've messaged a few individuals selling focuses to buy the wheels but no luck yet🤣

That's what I'm saying if I'm going to powder coat some curb rashed factory wheels, I'm going get them for as cheap as possible!

You could try car-part.com and having wreckers ship them to you. There's some in Tucson for $65 each, some in Texas for $50 each.

I've painted wheels in the past with regular auto spray paint cans and it has worked out pretty well.

Yeah Tucson is close enough but definitely a day trip... I have some bronze paint for my current wheels, however the 15 spikes should be powder coated as they will be my forever wheel 🤷🏼‍♂️
