You guys think I can get these balanced without having to straighten them first?

It will be fine. I've seen much worse. Have it balanced as is.

If it was me, and i really liked the rims, i'd have the rim reconditioned or buy a new one.

Otherwise, balance it and give it a try. If the steel mesh re-enforcing in the tire is offset, it will be impossible to balance it.
