Default Are these rods a total loss?

I got some rods today for my build and now Im thinking I shouldnt use them. I was hesitant to buy them in the first place, but they were cheap, so I said f*** it.

I just took a quick pic of the end caps, but the rods look the same on the bearing surface.
What do you think? Should I cut cut my losses, or are these just fine to use?

Take them to a machine shop and have them measured...

Pictures will tell anyone and everyone, **** all.

Do **** properly, and go get them measured by a professional.

The machine shop should hone them out "size the rods" but those look pretty bad so I probably wouldnt use them. Whats cheap? u can get factory rods for nothing from anybody.
