bent rim? Big problem or no?
So im looking at buying some evo x rims but there is one rim that is a little bent, just wondering if its worth fixing or just leaving alone.

Should be fine. As the other guy said, check for cracking. If you're going to track or aggressively drive, I would probably steer clear. For DD stuff, should be find.

An oxy-acetylene torch, an anvil, and a hammer will take that right out 
More seriously, I had a set of rims with a much larger bend than that at one point, and they balanced out nicely and held air without issues. In fact, they're still being used. I did have a bit of a shimmy above 60mph, however. If it was me, I would consider them for around $300, as posted above.
