bent rims, worth buying??

hello,
right now i am planning to purchase a set of rims.
but one of them is bent.

plz tell me if its good idea for me to buy them or not.
the owner is saying he went to the shop and asked and the shop said
it is cosmetic issue, will not effect performance.

I would want a killer deal though....

Will cost about $150 to get it fixed...there are a couple of companies that fix them locally that do a good job
