Default Wheel damage!

Well..wife got me new tires for Christmas and I finally got them installed on Jan 07. After washing my car finally yesterday...I noticed a few chips on my wheels. One rim has chips around the center cap probably from the tire mounting machine and another has chips around the lug opening..probably from their air gun removing the lugs. Went to the store today and the manager wasnt there so I talked to the shop supervisor. He said they could most likely just send my wheels off to get refinished and back to normal but I would have to leave the car which wont work for me. Or he said they could give me a gift card or something..then he said about $75 which is BS. I told him I would hold off and talk to the manager tomorrow which I had talked to a few weeks earlier involving the original tire purchase and incorrect sizes for my S.

BTW...These are my CR wheels which are $482.58/ea for the rears that are messed up. So I doubt $75 is going to make me happy....

Discount, FTW. They're going to be putting the RE11a rears on my newly refinished AP1 Enkei wheels and there's no doubt in my mind that they won't screw them up.
