Default Is it worth getting bent rims fixed?

i crashed two of my 16" rims on an island on the freeway and their pretty bent. i was wondering if it was worth getting them fixed or should i just dump them and get a new pair. how much does getting rims fixed cost?

if fixing them is cheaper than buying 2 new ones...than yes. I've had rims repaired and it was fine, no air leakage or road noise.
