Update:
I was able to negotiate an acceptable adjustment & now
I am sending them to Wheel Collision where they will re-polish the lips & re-clear them..
I am excited at seeing how great they will look with lips that truely have a high mirror polish along the likes of HRE's & CCW's polished aluminum wheels... No more lines, no swirls, no brushed appearence.
Will post before/after pics in 10-14 days!
Keep your fingers crossed!

I am assuming that you checked with wheel collision and asked them if they had ever worked on stainless wheels before? I know most wheel repair places have never even SEEN stainless wheels.
