Default Scratched Rays (rear) - what to do with them? Sell or toss?

I've been sitting on a couple of stock Ray 19 inch rear wheels for awhile. One is a refinished wheel for a 2011 370Z. It was well-refinished but was scratched opening the shipping box leaving a slightly visible line from the box cutter. The other is a 19 inch rear for a 2014 370Z. The tire guy dropped it face down and they replaced it with a new OEM leaving me with the scarfed rim.

What to do with these wheels? Is there a market for them? How much for otherwise good OEM Rays that need to be refinished? Or do I just toss them?

Don't trash them. Sell them for like $50. Helps you with cash, helps someone else that needs a rim and will pay to get it refinished.

The stock 18" ones are not worth too much, but the 19s can get decent resale even used. Many Altima and Maxima owners like them.

You won't get much for recycling them.. I would say keep them as spares or sell them to people that need spares.

Or make a coffee table out of it... I'm sure if the scratch isn't bad.. some people would be down to pay for it..
