Default Driving on bent rims?

I just put a set of snow tires on my car yesterday and noticed that they're bent all to hell. I picked them up last year for next to nothing, knowing that they were in pretty bad shape. They're fine driving under 60, but going any more then that brings on an awful wobble that shakes the whole back of the car.

So is it bad to drive on bent rims? Assuming I stay under 60 and out of the wobble zone, would I mess up anything on my car by driving on them? Fixing them would cost a lot more then I paid for them, but if they could mess something else up I'd rather just straighten them.

The tires will wear unevenly and it could also wear on your wheel bearings.
