Just picked up a set of these Speedline sl1113 bronze rims with newish tires. Trying to decide if the rims are worth reconditioning and selling or not. I'd be doing the work myself. I hardly ever see these bronze rims. Only eBay listing is $200 for one of them. Are they valuable if restored to original bronze or are they rare because everyone hates them lol? Also are these aluminum or magnesium? Any info about these would be helpful as most sites seem to focus on the silver variants.

Looks like the warm nickel painted rims from a 2003 50th anniversary edition Vette. I'm rather partial toward them myself as I have them on my ride. As far as I know they were only that color for the special anniversary models. So, stock aluminum, not mag, painted that color.
Like these:
Only available on the '03 Anniversary cars. Rare? Sure. Valuable? Not really. eBay sellers are always on the high side. They're hoping for that one guy who wants to buy the one rim to complete his set for his garage queen that got a curb.
Would I pay $800 for a complete set? Absolutely not. And I don't think many other people would either - so I wouldn't bother restoring them.

Those wheels are standard on the 2003 Anniversary Edition cars and only on those cars. Are they worth restoring - perhaps to an AE owner that wants to keep the car completely stock.
