Dealer damage / balancing question.

Hey guys,

Just got a BRAND NEW staggered set of VMR V710FFs

Front 19X8.5 ET35 (CONTI ECS 225/35r19)
Rear 19x9.5 ET45 (CONTI ECS 255/30R19)

Dealer put them on (+ balance and alignment) and noted "A very slight bend in one wheel" that wouldn't cause any issues. When I received them new I noticed some VERY slight machine marks on the wheels. The dealer said they received the wheel with the bend.

Question 1. After driving home I noted an approx .75" rash on the lip of the rim.. through the matte paint leaving silver base metal exposed.

The dealer def did this, I ceramic coated the wheels over a 3 hour period
and noticed no flaws this bad. How should I approach this?

Question 2. The car drives great until 80mph ish. At this point the car begins to slightly shake. I did not notice this with the stock wheels and P-zeros.

Is there a break in period to alignments? or is the slight "bend" fucking
things up. Not sure how to approach this one... I wish the dealer would
have told me about the slight bend before installing all wheels and tires.
Another thought, is the tires are pretty aggressive, not sure if the contis
run small but it seems like a very slight sstretch.

Sorry for the essay, TIA!
