Dealer screwed up my 21 stock OEM wheels - scratches and dents all over the lug nut area, all 4 Rims ..
They then decided to compensate by having them painted by some a joke of shop and the paint is already chipping.. what would you guys suggest??
Mind you I only bought the LE for the rims..
 
That sucks!
You could either tell them to replace them or get them powder-coated at Union Rim Repair in North York ( Union Rim Repair )
I had my 21's powder-coated Hyper Black there and was very pleased with them. Here is a pic of the 21's I had done there: IMG_0748_PB_zpscf29eda9.jpg
 
How long ago did you get them done? I ask because I hear they tend to start chipping usually after a year or so..
Price if you don't mind sharing?
Thanks

Powder coat wont chip as long as it is done correctly. If they prep the wheels by media blasting them as necessary and then coat them properly it will last a long time.

I had those done a couple of years ago. It was around $600 to remove tires, PC rims, reinstall and balance tires. I dropped the rims with tires off and ran with my winters while they were being done.

Funny you say that as I was told they were 'powder coated in the most appropriate manner' from the very get go,
Perhaps I should've stood my ground and asked for replacements from the factory..

Thanks! Your rims definitely look good. Not sure exactly but the colour is very close to the oem turbine rims

You can get them any color you want, I went in and showed them the exact color I wanted, mine held perfectly.
