Last October I replaced my Bridgestone Potenza 050 tires on my 124 wheels with Dunlop Wintersport 3D snow tires.
I removed those wheels yesterday with my 166's and PS2 Michelins for the summer. As I cleaned off the winter wheels I noticed that two of the wheels are bent and I remember going thru a bad pothole about two weeks ago coming back from Wisconsin. No air leaking but do I still need to fix those wheels before I put them back on next winter?
Also I wanted to mention that I have my four Bridgestone RE 050 run flats for sale. I have less than 1,000 miles on them since I have been using my PS2's in the summer the last 2 years. They are offset tires, the fronts are 245 18's and the rears are 275 18s. Perfect condition. Does not include the wheels.
Let me know if you have any interest. Best offer takes them away.

Minor dents in your wheels can be trued up - especially if they are not showing any fractures.
You should post price for the Bridgestone's ... you said they have only 1K miles but pictures help. And note if you'll ship/UPS-Fedex. GL with the sale and wheel replacement/repair.
