Default What To Do With Crummy Wheels

In 2000 i bought some aftermarket wheels for my '97 C5. I bought these stock looking, thin spoke chromed wheels from Eckler's. I believe that they cmae through West Coast Corvette (I could be wrong about the vendor). In any case the chrome started coming off about 3 years later (about the time the warranty expired)-first on the inner wheel and now onto the spokes themselves. I have bought some GM polished aluminum wheels through EBay. My question is what to do with the old ones (they look like crud-even though this is a 30k mike car always kept in a garage under a car cover). Should I try to rechrome and then sell? Cost? Should I try to sell on Ebay? Any ideas?
Thanks, Mike

I have stock rims on my 1998 coupe that have been powder coated black.. Looks really cool.
