I think if you're serious about selling them, you might need to consider investing it getting them repaired first. Very few people are going to want to spend that kind of money on something they're going to have to immediately get repaired themselves.

The cheapest single wheel of this type is listed for $295 (without TPMS). There's another set for $1000, although black and with tires--again without TPMS, and with one rim "badly bent." A set of four described as "flawless" is listed as having sold for $1395. So, I think I priced mine to move...we'll see.

Priced low enough, someone could buy them to convert into coffee tables.

Wheels sold. All in all, pretty painless.

If so - will installing the wider 19" wheels, and subsequently, tires cause any issues with offset for steering, or increased chance of rock chips form the tires?

All that aside - I'd be hard pressed to spend that much money on wheels, unless they were considerably different looking after market wheels. Something drastically different will also differentiate your car from the hundreds of other silver V8Vs out there...

I've seen some amazing looking wheels int he picture thread...

I did just that when I had my 07 Vantage... moved to the Vantage S wheels with no problem what-so-ever. They really updated the looks of the car. As for my old wheels, I just recycled them. Funny, my 2013 has a similar paint combo so most folks think I still have my 2007 Vantage not a 2013 Vantage S... The 2007 is Goodwood Green... The 2013 is British Racing Green.
