Probably dented so that they clear the steering shaft. Why are you complaining if you paid $30 for them?

You can probably repair that dent pretty easy . . . just drill a hole opposite of the dent and put a metal rod through or a flat-ended punch and carefully pound it back out. Then MIG weld the hole closed.
