    If going back to the dealer is not an option, phone around some local car bodyshops, some of them also do alloy wheel refurbishment, dependant on the damage they can usually do a good job, at least the local one here does.
    If its that bad nothing can be done, beggars the question how you missed it

    Is the alloy buckled (which would be difficult to miss on inspecting) or just a few scratches and kerbing? You could just call them up state the damage and hope they either repair the damage or provide a goodwill compensation for the amount it will cost you to repair.

    An alloy refub should be less than £70, could be half that if it's only minor.
