draco rims and durability, How well do they hold up? 200

Here is the deal, I came across 2 cars in junkyard, between them they had 5 draco rims... I figured they looked nice so I would pull them. figured I would at least get 4 nice ones out of the batch. There was only 1 perfect one, the others have varying degrees of flat spots.
My question, Is this typical? Are these that easy to bend? the virgos I have seen are in better shape. Am I just too picky? (in a couple the flat was barely visible, less than 1/8 inch) Is this ok? should I go for it? Are they repairable? (I left them pulled beside a car, price is $10 each and tires are shot.
thanks in advance
