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

Typical. Like the Virgo rims, they are amongst the softest.

A minor bend or two won't kill ... it's bad if it wobbles side-to-side, though. As it is, all my Virgo rims have at least one bend in 'em. Two of the tires (Kumho KH-11's) did not require any weights at all to balance, one took 1/4, the other took 1/2.

At $10, that's cheap. Here in SoCal, aluminum rims run $25-$35/ea. at the self-serve places, significantly more at full service. Just do a quick check that they're not wobbling side-to-side and get 'em. A quick dousing of spray paint can do wonders on bad finishes.
