Default 2GS wheel dilemna

I currently have a 2nd gen GS and it has 19 inch SSR GT3's on it. 19x10 r & 19x8.5 f. I found out today that the front 2 are bent. Now i am trying to weigh options and need some assistance whereas to make the best decision.

a: purchase 2 new SSR GT3's from Tire Rack (if they still have this finish)
b: purchase a used set of Lowenhart LD5 in 20x10.5r & 20x9f off a SL500 but is missing center caps. for an extremely low price but would have to be redrilled & center caps found.
c: purchase a used set Maya DTM 20x10r & 20x9f that have been redrilled & painted so they would have to be stripped and repainted or polished.

fixing them is kinda an alternative but i do not have any other wheels to use as spares till they come back.

what do you guys think is the best decision

here is the current setup

i'd go with option 1 if i had the chance, since it should cost you the least and you stick with with you like. number 2 is just too much hassle and too many question marks on the quality of the redrilling. 3 ain't bad if you really like it.

first thing i'd really do is just get the bent barrels repaired. that's the cheapest route and a good repair job makes the wheel just like new
