How much should i sell my Rays for? Any input would be great! P.s. i want to stay 19's its the perfect size

certain shops offer CNC machining repair options, which would ideally make your rims look brand new.
and if you do sell your rays for newer rims, would you buy a newer set of rays or aftermarket? reason why i ask is because if you ever decide to trade in your car, aftermarket wheels (and aftermarket anything) will reduce the value of your car.
if you are set on selling them, you probably won't get anything near what you want because:
1. most people are going to want the redesigned 2013+ rims
2. as you have stated, the curbrash
3. depending on how much tread you have left on your tires (although this shouldn't be a huge factor, i'm sure it'll play a role).
4. also, chances are, depending on the nature of the damage on your wheels, they may be bent.
if you have the money to repair and powercoat your rims, why not just hold off on that and just buy a new set of wheels with that money.
