Don't mind me - I'm just an a-hole, bro 
I was just trying to point out that... well, I think you already know, so no point for me to be redundant. But please don't take my crap to heart - I intended for my tone to be playful, didn't mean to discourage you in any way.
I truly, sincerely wish you luck with the sale.

, no prob. Honestly, don't know how much I can get for these so that's why it's a "feeler". Don't know whether to sell it all and buy all new wheels, or just buy a new refurb wheel instead to replace the cracked one. Or just sell the darn car all together.

So, basically, it is up to you - of course. But believe me, a quality wheel repair guy will take care of those cracks in a day - I've had that done to two of my 123s and they are holding up as new (been many months already).
Lastly, if you're going to keep the 124s, I recommend you switch the RFT Bridgestones you have on for something conventional with a softer sidewall - your cracks in the rim would not have happened if you were rolling on some softer tires - or at least not that many of those cracks. You'd have to get a spare and/or mobility kit though, if you don't yet have it.

There are plenty of excellent wheel refurbishers/refinishers (I'm sure our Cali members won't leave you hanging if you ask where/who/how much etc), who will easily fix that wheel for you for about 100-150 bucks. IMO, that is the best option if you would like to keep the rims.

Thanks! I don't have many options here where I live in terms of wheel repair (there's only 1 in town). I might have to drive to socal to get it repaired. I did however, switch to non-rft's after the original set was toast. So hopefully that will put less pressure on the wheel itself to absorb all the impact.
In NYC by the way the wheel repair guys pick up your wheel and drop it off fixed next day - its a standard practice. Very convenient and cost-effective - maybe there is something like this in your area - IMHO well-worth checking out.

Should help now that you're out of the RFTs. But keep an eye on your tire pressures - even if/when you fix the cracked rim.

I'll look around a bit more to see if I can find a wheel repair guy in my local area. Thanks.

So what would some one expect to pay for a proper set of OEM 124s in good to excellent condition ?
I think the wheels were approx $1400 including the tpms w/25% discount from Garry back in 2006.

Mine has tpms I think (I get the tire pressure warning, not sure if that means I have tpms) .
