Default X-Post: What do you do with bent rims?

I posted this in Wheels, but I thought there might be an answer that relates to Maryland, where I live.

Basically I have rims that are bent and aren't worth fixing. Should I try to sell them for scrap aluminum? Any suggestions?

Default AFAIK they can usually be repaired

Since you said "still driveable" to me that says that the damage isn't too bad, which in turn means that fixing won't be too much of an issue. I had to get one fixed a couple years ago and it cost just about $100 FWIW. If it wouldn't cost too much to fix, perhaps you could make a little by selling them after fixing? Or, you could sell them as bent rims "but still driveable" to someone who is willing to fix them.
