Default Scuffed wheels

The factory weight scuffed wheel, once the weight is removed... dealer sent wheel out for refinishing. I thought he was sending it back for replacement. It is back and on, but should I be concerned about durability of the clear coat since it is now refinished? Can I ask for and get a warranty from them on the finish that is longer than the car warranty, which will expire in two months? Should I live with the scuffs on the other three wheels, instead of getting refinished wheels? Should I insist on factory replacements? Anyone else getting this scuffing addressed once you pull the weights? Apparently a TSB on it.

Most wheel reconditiojning service companies warranty the finish.They powder coat them in color or clearcoat which is very durable.

Not sure anyone cares, but only one yawn with 100 reads, so maybe. The reconditioned wheel, looks lousy. I would have been better off with the weight scuffing. Dealer will work with me to satisfy me with this one wheel, but I'm going to probably leave the three other wheels alone.
