Challenge lease car damages

Hi Everyone...my first post so go easy on me 
A couple of weeks ago I returned my Range Rover Evoque after 36 months
The car was in overall pristine comdition apart from a scuffed alloy which I expected to be charged for.
On the inspection it was brought to my attention that the alloys were showing signs of corrosion. I honestly hadn't even noticed this. Manheim put down on the inspection report that I would be disputing any charges relating to corrosion as the car was "fully maintained" and any irregularities should have been rectified when the car was serviced. I also stressed that alloys on a Range Rover should not corrode within 3 years and should be covered under warranty.
Low and behold Hitachi have chosen not to uphold my complaint and believe that I should pay for the repairs to 4 alloys...including corrosion to a centre cap.
Although they will not bring this into the equation my car had only done 20,000 miles when I was contracted for 36,000.
I am not prepared to accept their decison so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
