    Yes it sucks man!
    I get you but most shops say in paperwork saying they are not liable.
    Was it like a tire discount or something like that?
    Like said lots of these wheels out there.
    Painted clear coated rims are a pain in the ass. Once the clear is broken they just get worse from that. Wax paint sealant clear coat etc to help slow it down. Did they scuff the edges where the tire is?
    Did they use the hammer on weights on the rim?

    Happy Friday!

    A pragmatic approach might be to talk to the store owner and say "Look, I can't prove your shop did this damage to my rim. I think it did, and I'm dissapointed, but i am not going to pursue this. However, as a favour, please inspect your machine and ask your staff to be careful so the next guy's rims to avoid this happening. Thank you, and have a good day!" You get to state your piece, and their reaction will tell you all you need to know.
