I hate hate hate hate when that happens. I feel your pain.

Still, I would replace them ASAP. Bent wheels are not your friend.

Bent rims =

They may hold air at static... but get those rims spinning and dynamic is where stuff can happen. total lose of air at 65mph FTL

I think that the rim tape makes it look worse than it is. Lose the duct taped wheel weight.
