No. A large amount of weights can also be because of imbalance in the tyre that was/is mounted, so it's more of an indication than proof. To see if it's bent, you'll need to spin it.

However, €80 isn't that much money. Go check them out and if there aren't any immediate red flags, buy them. If 1 or 2 of them end up being slightly bent, throw them on the rear axle and you won't feel any vibration in the steering wheel. Counterweights can compensate for quite alot.

That's why you put the rims with the most weights on the rear axle
