I could maybe see it being an issue for one rim but for all of them? Yeah I would be very upset at well. I hope they take responsiblity for that. Really nice set ot rims.

Read my paperwork...there isn’t anything in it that denies liability for damage. In fact they guarantee satisfaction
Use that to your advantage. If they guarantee satisfaction stress that. If they still won't help file a claim with the BBB and use YELP, social media, and the company you purchased the rims/tire set from and raise holy hell. Best of luck, sorry this happened to you. I had this happen to my best friends 1 of 1 custom rims. He went the legal/lawyer route, but that is time consuming and expensive.

Had a meeting scheduled with the shop manager today that he “conveniently” skipped out on. Been waiting on him to contact me for two days to discuss and remedy the issue now this.... Time to start moving up the chain

Absolutely. Go down there unannounced tomorrow to prevent him from skipping out on you. If he's not there, assuming it's a chain, start Googling regional offices. Go to the corporate office if necessary.

A nick or two maybe but that is unacceptable. I would talk to them immediately.

Those marks look like they were from when the wheels were balanced and the cone they used didn't have rubber or the rubber was dirty therefore scratching the wheels. I know from experience. I'm a technician.

What ended up happening with this? @NightTrain
Installer ended up replacing the wheels and refunding the installation cost. Now I have two sets of wheels. May sell scratched wheels at a discounted rate
