The outcome, a snotty letter to the dealer principal of my dealer saying I'd struggle to buy another car from them and that I was about to take legal action in the small claims court...... which resulted in them saying they'd refurb the wheels which resulted in me saying....hang on a minute, I'm thinking about changing my car anyway, why don't you do me a good deal and dont' deduct anything from the p/x for the state of the wheels.

I went in that afternoon and the rest (or at least the E46) is history!
