How bad are these bends, and where to get them fixed.
I bought these 2pc iForged senekas from someone on the forums. When they arrived, all 4 were bent. 
How bad does this look? When can I get these fixed for a resonable price? No local shops here in MN do 19" Wheels.

That's not too bad.
I had similar bends in my old wheels fixed w great results.
Wheel Collision Center in Bath PA, was between $100 and $125 per wheel

Grab the boxes out of the trash if you didn't already keep 'em

go to your local wheel shop and purchase a dayton hammer, it is a lead hammer that is used for installing knockoff spoke wheels (the lowrider style),,,,,,,,,,,,
next let all air out of the valve stems
then hit the bends with the dayton hammer and pound them out, not that hard and it should work for you, be gentle at first until u find out how solid your lip is and make sure no cracking,
lead is the softest metal and as you hit your rear lip the hammer will dent with each impact, should work fine for you, ive done it to many customers wheels, and the hammer should cost you about 25 bucks

I agree , Im sorry to see that happen , it sucks for someone to not disclose any known problems, and obviously the seller was ripping you off. Thats the reason i havnt pulled the trigger on alot of big ticket items in the classified section. Please let us all know who the seller is in the feedback section. So we all know who to ignore.

I've had similar bends in my wheels before...its not that bad....you can actually repair them yourself..
Like someone said above.....let the air out of the tire....and if you dont have one of those dayton hammers....use a piece of wood between the regular hammer and the wheel...
Dont go crazy at first...get used to see how quickly the bend can go back......you dont want to crack the rim...
Lastly, make sure you get the wheels rebalanced after you do this...
