Default Major damage done to one of my RS4 wheels . . .

i picked up my car at the dealer on monday and noticed yesterday that the rear wheel on my passenger side is severely scratched. I know it was not there before I dropped the car off. The scratches are so deep (there are actual chips taken out of the rim) that I would of heard some noise if i hit something. so, i strongly suspect that it happened at the dealer but i have no proof. I called the dealer up and he said to bring it back but chances are they will do nothing. any advice? Sometimes I hate having nice wheels.

If he said to bring it back, do it. He could've told you to stick it.

Default every time i drop my car off @ dealer, or anywhere else, i make them look at the wheels w/me!

i ask them to show me any scratches, on the wheels or the car, so that we won't have any arguments later. people understand. i do this at the tint place, the hand car wash, etc...
good luck!!!
