they're in pretty bad condition. lots of curb rash and one has a big gouge in the lip from who knows what (all damage from previous owners).

Seems like they're pretty rare to find, so I don't really want them to go to waste.

Default They are rare, especially compared to OEM B5 S4 wheels. But...

you're going to spend at least $100 per wheel for a good refinish job. At this point you would be into the wheels for minimum $400 and could probably sell the set for guestimate $600? So you would make ~ $200 If you sold them the way they are right now, figure about ~ $300 because of their rarity. Common sense says sell as is, don't worry about the hassles, but that's just my opinion. Good luck
