Bent wheels, what should I do?

Hi folks,
The winter wheels for my 2000 Aero are bent, for the second time (3 out of 4), which cause a shake at 75mph as if they weren't properly balanced. These are not SAAB OEM wheels, I bought them new, some German company. Anyhow, they seem to be fragile, as this is the second time I have bending issues (2 wheels were bent the first week I had them, were fixed and now they are bent again).
Basically, should I have them put straight again at about $70 per wheel, or does this weaken the wheels further? Our roads are terrible here, but still, I never bent another make of wheel. I also need new winter tires...
This will get expensive and if they bust again within a short time frame, I will flip my lid. But then again, getting another set of wheels and tires (if I get them used off of the net, I run the risk of receiving damanged goods, no? I'm in Canada, shipping could be a pain - customs) will be costly as well.
What do you folks recommend?
Thanks for your comments,
John
