I'd complain and tell them to either pay you half of what u paid for the spacers or take their ish back. I'm pretty sure they'll break you off 75 after giving you a lot of headache. If you're the guy that enjoys giving somebody a hard time and getting paid for it, you should do it. lol

Thats what I would do, if they sold you the wrong rims, they should either switch them out with the correct offset or pay for the spacers.

With todays high tech -low pressure casting vs the older gravity casting,
manuafacturers are makingrims thinner and lighter. A radial score
such as a caliper scraping may put you at risk of the rim coming
apart at the score under extreme cornering. I know that curb bent
rims are dangerous at high speeds. Yet another reason to take them
back to who ever sold them to you. If they are scored too bad, they
are dangerous IMHO. I dont think the spacers fixed the whole
problem.
