Dumb question re: wheel replacement

My passenger side front wheel has some curb rash, and I have a nicer-looking wheel to replace it with (thank you eBay), which I'm hoping will help sell the car.

My question is, when I take it somewhere to have the wheels switched, what exactly do I need? Balancing? Roughly how much should I expect to pay?

Thanks!
Chris

$10-25

Tell them you want your old tire mounted and balanced on the "new to you" wheel.

Awesome, thanks. Not something I've ever dealt with before, so I just wanted a ballpark number.

And always remember, "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people."


Just kidding.
