I will be contacting my service manager in the AM regarding that as it's worded in a way that leads me to believe they may not be perfectly straight.

I also paid for an alignment based on their suggestion which made sense with how hard the impact was.

Any issues riding with opposite tires with tread wear vs fresh tires?

Driving home felt good overall though I thought I noticed some drift to the right during some harder accelerating through the gears. Not sure if that is the rims "repaired by site", uneven tire wear on one side of the car, some combination of the two, or my imagination.
If opposite tires are worn vs fresh, they aren't really the same size, one wheel would spins slightly less than the others. Its not really recommended longer term so it would depends on your degree of wear. If its like 50% wear vs a fresh tire, I would just swap it out.

Take what I said with a grain of salt.
