Many thanks for help.

That's weird that a new car would be delivered that way. I wonder what happened to it during the transport.

Anyway, I don't have much information about wheel repairs, but there was a thread in here a while back where someone got their wheels repaired and it looked really good. Not sure what model they were though. Hopefully they will respond.

Your Tyres are manufactured in 2018? I am rejecting this shit. There is something definitely shady going on before ur car reached u (hopefully just the Tyres)

It looks like someone swapped your brand new wheels for their damaged ones. I would not accept the car this way until the dealer corrected it. Have the tread measured as well.

Marrecki2007@yahoo.com you don’t say if the vehicle was supposed to be new or used, but if new, that’s absolutely unacceptable. You can see damage to the tire wall as well in one of your pictures, so as others have stated, it looks like someone either drove the car a while and damaged the rims or is trying to swap them out and hope you won’t notice.

Those tires do not look new at all. Also the plastic inserts look like they’ve been pried around the edges or something? I have the 940M wheels and the inserts are not flush with the rim, so I don ‘t think fixing the edge of the rim would necessarily cause an issue with the inserts (they can be removed by retaining screws from within the rims if I recall correctly).

Anyway, if you know this car is used then a lot of the comments above might be moot.
