Default Bent rim

hey guys I had purchased and extra set of rear rims from a member here and I did not know they were both bent until I had got them both stripped, powder coated, and balanced with tires. Now 1 has a small bend the other is more pronounced (easily seen when spinning on a tire balancer) is there a way to fix them or would that cost more than just going and buying a new set of rears? also to add insult to injury I took my stock rears to powder coat as well and now 1 rim mounted with a drag radial has a bend and 1 rim mounted with a Star Spec has a small bend.

When I drove the car with the Star Specs the car seemed to have some squirrely-ness/ unstable feel to it when at around 80 mph could this be due to the small bend?


fml..really wish I would have known I got 2 bent rims before I took them to get mounted and balanced...
ps sorry for the rant
