once they bend, they lose all of their strength. You can straighten them, but they will be extremely weak.

Sell them for scrap, and use the money to buy new wheels.;)

They don't seem dented but twisted enough to put them out of balance wow what are you hitting. i have dented mine bent them back and had them welded and haven't ever had them shimmy or shake like they were out of balance.

Fear is an emotion felt from previous pain, or the unknown.;)
