agreed don't know if dealer is the only answer, but certainly don't go to the churn and burn chain tire stores. they use the big machine with the large "crowbar" that forces the tire on / off without regard to the actual rim they're working with.

same thing happened to me. went to my local tire store for new tires. got the car home and realized the entire outside of the rim was scarred from their machine.

took it back and all they offered was to "clean" up the rim and pointed out the store policy was that damage to rims could occur and that they were not responsible for it.
