The wheel holds air just fine, but I'm worried about driving with it being bent. Would it be worth it to get them fixed, or should I get a new rim?

Should be fine for driving, but easily fixed. I had a wheel that had 2 nasty bends in it (hit 2 potholes on the same rainy night, was not my lucky day), but the wheel was fixed and never caused me a problem for the next 15 years that the car was in the family.

My roads are so crap I got 3 rims with bends and it still balance out. 😆
I'll change them once they can't be balanced.

It's fine to drive on and can be repaired. Get them balanced to see the real answer.
