price for repairs probably cost more then the price of what the rims are worth. bent lip can lead to tires not sitting on the rim perfectly or possible for the tire to leak air.

the bend isnt bad at all one isnt that noticeable the other is a bent a little to the point where i know it would lose air if tires were placed .. my guess is it would be around the 300 range to repair both thats just me guessing .. but they are repairable ...
