Mike, it might be that your camera distorts things, but if not, I see at least 4 bent spokes in that top pic. Some bent "in" and some bent "out"....Get yourself a straightedge(a standard carpenter's level of adequate length will work) and hold it up to the spokes between the center part and the outer rim part of the wheel. Straight means STRAIGHT, with little or no daylight showing between the level and the spoke-provided it's not sitting on the rivits. Bet you'll find more than the one bent if you check it that way...
With that said, a little hammer and dolly work(with a BFH and something heavy like an 8 inch chunk of railroad track rail to back it up), and possibly some help from the blue wrench, in a few hours sweat work you could probably get those bent spokes close enough to straight that they'd be darn near unnoticeable, improving the value of the wheels.
