Default Front wheels

Stopped in to the NTB today for a wheel balance. Steering wheel shakes a bit at speeds of 45mph+. Thinking I have a bad tire, bent wheel, or just needs to be balanced. I've had the car 3 weeks now, so I'm trying to address some minor issues. RESULTS, both front wheels are bent and or cracked on the inside. One has even been welded at some point.

I'm viewing these results as an opportunity to upgrade the wheels. Any suggestions or should I just get 2 new OEM wheels. I don't mind the current look but would be open to a modest upgrade/change.

Beauty is in the eye of the driver. Your choice unless you are a purist. Then if so look online for take off's for sale. Ebay maybe!
