The last pic doesn't look that bad but the first two pics would worry me a little. You want a perfect fit for the tire to seat. I would hate that to blow at high speeds. I am by no means a tire expert but what is the worst thing that can happen if you ask them to fix it? They say no? Well you already have that answer without asking. Did the ppi inspector check those? You can always check into your insurance.

Until an expert chimes in, I might take them to a reputable tire shop and see what can be done and how much it would cost. I don't know if you can "straighten" out these rims "SAFELY". I am sure two new rims aren't cheap.

Side note,(again, I am no expert), but they look like they are bent out not in. To me that would be the fault of who ever put them on last. I guess you could bend them out if you hit a railroad track hard. Do you see any marks on the bend point? Meaning usually if you hit something it will cause a scrape or sharp impression. If it was the tire shop taking the tire off it wouldn't show an impact mark. Just my 2 cents, good luck!!

OH, sorry,I almost forgot. Welcome to the Boxster club!!
