Default Bent chrome rims

I have two bent chrome stock rims from my IS350. Is it worth it to try and sell them? Is there a market?

I ask because Lexus wants $750+ per rim and the aftermarket companies want about $550 per rim. Is there a market for them if I sell for about $300 considering that the repair is about $100-$150 per rim? By the way, they are in perfect shape besides the slight bend in each rim (mirror finish with no scratches).

Thanks for any/all advice.

I can't imagine why anyone would want them, but on the other hand, maybe you should put them on eBay, so some lucky guy can "win" them from you.

That's ridiculous......$750+ for a stock rim?!?! Why, just because you can do your makeup in the reflection?

only thing i would do with them is make coffee tables. No one will buy bent rims especially chome ones. you'll be luck to get 50 bucks per wheel. Also not a lot of people have the stock IS wheels in chrome... Not my cup of tea

I would go to discount tire and purchase alll new wheels. Put the chromes on Ebay and start the reserve at $50. They should sell.
