Dinged Rim Problems

Dinged Rim Problems
So here's the issue and I hope y'all can help me. When I got the rims and tires listed in my profile I was in the middle of a road trip and had to abandon my stock rims. Now after a brutal Boston winter, I'm dealing with the less than fun situation of driving around on dinged rims (okay to drive on, but obnoxious vibration between 70 and 80 MPH) in addition to having had to replace two nearly new tires because you just can't miss every pothole around here. I have to drive cross-country twice this summer, but will be able to afford to do some sort of repair/replacement between the two trips.
Do I
A) Get the wheels straightened at $100-$150 per wheel and attempt to avoid more potholes in Boston next winter?(and if you know of a good place in Seattle, I'm listening)
B) Get some other wheel/tire combo and stick the Shoguns in the garage till some later date? (The replacement tires would have to be on the car from August till I move home to Seattle permanently after graduation in June 2004)
C) Toss the Shoguns and get something else completely?
D) Fill in the blank_________________
Thanks for your input.

Go for choice A
Hey how ya doin?
I had a buckled wheel and i paid $80 to get this chrome wheel unbuckled, i think that thats the way to go, if you leave these wheels dinged one day the side walls on your tyres will bust and thats not good, I wouldn't pay over $100 to get them unbuckled hey!!!!
