Dealership damaged wheels during Balancing…
I would have the dealer have their “guy” do the wheel repair and see if the OP is ok with the refinishing/paintwork. It it isn’t done to his satisfaction I would see what other remedy the dealer could do like having all of the wheels refinished/powdercoated. My friend had a similar issue with the X7 I sold him with Vossen wheels and they ended up getting all four powdercoated since it was too hard to match the other wheels.
I have the similar wheels on my GS. One of my wheels was done and I can see the slight shade difference vs the older/weathered ones. I just ignore it. With all the scratches I get on the car in NYC that is the last of my nitpicks.
I agree. If you want perfection you may have to do all four.

That is a real shame that they damaged your wheels. Hopefully they can repair them and make it look good as new.
I'm always paranoid of stuff like this happening to my wheels since I have multiple sets of expensive multi-piece wheels. My local Discount Tire has handled most of my wheels stuff, along with a local wheel repair shop I use and I used to use the dealership back when I worked there. I've been lucky to not have any problems yet.
