Not only did you have a dealership tell you these were causing a problem (see other thread), but, they f**ked them up as well? Wow. If I were you, I'd just park the car and wait for the other bad things to pass.

I'd try to get new wheels.

By the sounds of it, I dont think you would be happy with "Just living " with the repair. or you wouldnt say it in that manner. I know If it were Me, I would tell them to replace the wheels.
Are they going to shoot clear on them after the repair or are they going to need to be polished every other day ....

They owe you new wheels. If they think fixing them is such a good idea, they can pay to repair them, then try to sell them in the parts dept as reconditioned.

Ouch, that really hurts. I would go for new wheels as well. You spent a large investment in them. In fact just like someone suggested, have them replace the wheels, then they can take the old ones, repair them and see what they can get for them.

tell me about it, its pretty crappy. I did notice that the Volk Winning emblem/etching is in fact a sticker. I feel like an idiot but only concern now is if they can retain the shiny polish as it was before. I've done some minor work with Wheel Techniques before and they seem to be pretty good about retoring it back to new.

Thanks all for the advice. Great forum members (very supportive).
