If youi can return them to Rivendell, I would do so...unless maybe you are planning on riding different wheels as your commuter wheels. You can reshape them a little, using a heat gun, but it's an iffy process. You're better off starting with something closer to the radial curvature you need.
Dang it. Not sure how I pulled that off but thanks for pointing it out. They're still in the box so I'll be returning them!
