Question Bent Panasport: Fix then sell, or just sell?

I'm finally making time to deal with my Panasports from my wrecked 83'. I can't use them any more since I've converted to SE suspension. They are 15 x 7, but one of the wheels is sightly bent and damaged from the crash. I'm trying to figure out if it's better for me to fix it then sell them, or just sell them as is. If I can find my damm charger for my camera, I'll post a pic.

Whatever you decide to do, PLEASE be up front with whoever buys the wheels... Nothing sucks more than buying a cool set of wheels, only to find out one's had damage....

Definately right on Lt. Dan- I bought a set of 15x7 BBS black mesh rims from a guy who picked them off a junkyard RX-7..What he failed to disclose was that he tried to router two of the freakin holes in one wheel in an attempt to get it to fit to a older VW GLI. Let me tell you- JB Weld can look deceiving if pasted on right.Thank god my friend who owns a tire shop caught this..I spent $125 to get that one wheel fixed correctly. What a dumbass thing to do to make a wheel fit. I could have lost a wheel on the highway

all you really can do is see how much you can get for them as is.... and see how much you can get for them fixed.... then see how much it is to fix it... which ever way you can get more money... go for it... even though it is easier to sell a good set.... dunno... really up to you if you want to go through the hassle of fixing the rim... or if you want to go through the hassle of selling them with a bent rim........
