Typical cost per wheel (parts + labor): $80–$250. Factors:

• Vehicle make/model (luxury/4WD cost more).
• Front vs. rear (front often integrated with hub).
• Labor rates (dealer > independent).
• Additional damage (hub, knuckle, ABS sensor) can push total >$1,000.

Symptoms: grinding noise, vibration, uneven tire wear, ABS light. Diagnose promptly—failed bearings can seize wheels. Get quotes from multiple shops.
