yes, you could easily get those painted or even DIY. FYI, [I think] djlomas on this board used to have the same wheels and painted his himself IIRC.

As for how much you could sell them for? I wouldn't expect much more than $100-150/wheel. Check ebay to start. Even then, it may take a while. I'm sure you'll get some offers for 1 here or there as people need to replaced a damaged one they have... Plus, it depends on a number of things... timing is obviously one, as there might be more demand in fall just before winter for someone wanting OEM wheels for winter tires. Those wheels (Sport Classics), although they look nice, are not as high demanded design like Carrera Light Weights, etc.

Food for thought... contact a place that sells refurbished wheels and see how much they might give you on trade for yours if you buy a new set from them. I think wheelenhancement.com might do this...

Man I would have em painted. They would look like Cup Car wheels all blacked out.
